    Abstract

    A clear and stable self mode-locked pulse train was observed with Q-switched pulse envelope in diode pumped Yb-doped Q-switched fiber lasers. Self phase modulation (SPM) is regarded as the main reason to generate mode-locked pulses in this Q-switched fiber laser. The main effect of SPM is to broaden the spectrum of the optical pulses. If the width of the broadened spectrum is comparable with the cavity-mode spacing then the modes can interact with each other, and a fixed-phase relationship between different oscillating axial modes is maintained, resulting in the mode-locked operation. On this basis, the acousto-optic modulator (AOM) was removed and two gratings were used as the cavity mirrors, and an all-fiber Fabry-Perot (F-P) cavity fiber laser was realized. Similar mode-locked pulses were observed when using two ring reflectors as the cavity mirrors. It is observed that mode-locking has close relations with fiber length, Yb-doped concentration and pump power. Such kind of lasers provide a new method to generate mode-locked pulses.
