The ultrashort fiber laser with a dispersion-managed cavity. The laser is an actively mode-locked sigma laser, typically locked at a repetition rate of 10 GHz, driven by an external frequency source and actively length stabilized, and nearly 10,000 pulses circulate within the laser cavity. A Mach-Zehnder modulator is placed in a loop of polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber. The polarization state of light injected into the non-PM branch evolves in a random manner but is transformed into an orthogonal state by a Faraday mirror; linearly polarized light injected into the branch by a polarizing beamsplitter returns to the beamsplitter also linearly polarized but rotated by 90. The cavity of the laser is composed of several fibers. The average dispersion Dav is anomalous and is approximately equal to 0.1 ps/(nmkm).
