Abstract

We demonstrate the formation of stable cnoidal waves in an erbium-doped fiber laser using an electrooptic modulator in the laser cavity. Properties of the cnoidal wave such as pulse shape, width, intensity, and frequency can be controlled through the electrooptic modulator or the length of the doped fiber. This system can be described using a three-level laser model, which shows that for any cavity loss there is a modulation frequency that makes stable cnoidal waves possible. Numerical and experimental results are presented.
