Abstract(in English) We are expecting that mode-locked lasers are potentially one- or two-step more functional light sources when they are adopted in optical time-division-multiplexing (OTDM) communication systems, dilute-special-molecule’s gas-sensor systems, etc. in the future industry and/or biological research, than conventionally implemented basically-continuous-wave-laser sources. Before this work, we had demonstrated very narrow 0.6-ps widths of pulses, narrower-then-two-MHz linewidth of each of the many 10-GHz-spaced optical-frequency-comb components, etc. generated by our original all-optical-gate-type mode-locked lasers we experimentally fabricated. Their max average output power was, however, around 0.2-mW, while their external quantum efficiency was around 0.5% only. In this work, we have studied our mode-locked laser’s ring-laser-cavity configuration including its topology more carefully, for modelling and then enhancing its output quantum-conversion efficiency. The amount of optical insertion loss from the intra-cavity loss-compensation amp’s output port through the cavity-output-coupler has turned out to be the most influential. By decreasing this portion’s loss with a few more attentions, this laser’s quantum efficiency has successfully been enhanced to 5.9%, while its average output power was to 12-mW
