Abstract

The experimental study of the Yb3+-doped fiber laser using the nonlinear amplified loop mirror (NALM) is reported, which is pumped by 976 nm semiconductor laser. Using polarization dependent isolator and polarization maintaining coupler instead of polarization independent isolator and single mode coupler, high extinction ratio mode-locked pulse train are achieved, the repetition rate is 13.46 MHz, the width of the spectrum is about 2 nm and the extinction ratio is higher than 25 dB.
