Abstract(in English) A harmonically and regeneratively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser can easily produce picosecond transform-limited pulses in the GHz region, so it is very attractive as a light source for an ultrafast optical communication. This fiber laser has a long cavity length and a high O-value of cavity, thus a narrow linewidth (less than 1kHz) of the longitudinal mode can be obtained. This laser is also utilized as a high pure microwave oscillator by using the longitudinal self-beat signal. In this report, we described a 10GHz mode-locked fiber laser using a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) instead of a conventional erbium-doped fiber (EDF) as a gain medium, which has a wide tunable range of the cavity length. We measured the linewidth of the laser as a function of the laser cavity.
