From instable directional switching to controlled unidirectional operation in a nonlinear fiber ring laser
Abstract We investigate a new phenomenon, where a reciprocal fiber ring laser switches from bidirectional to unidirectional operation above a certain pump power threshold. Significant simplifications regarding earlier experiments are presented, which for the first time allow the identification of in...
