High repetition rate, high average power, femtosecond erbium fiber ring laser

A 301 MHz fundamentally mode-locked erbium fiber ring laser generating 108 fs pulses is demonstrated. Novel combination of gain fiber with anomalous group-velocity dispersion and intra-cavity silicon with normal group-velocity dispersion yields a stretched-pulse operation.
