Abstract

We investigate the operation of a power-symmetric NOLM, which relies on nonlinear polarization rotation. The device is made of a symmetrical coupler, highly twisted fiber and a QWR located asymmetrically in the loop (which can be rotated in a plane perpendicular to the fiber) and can be used in mode-locked fiber laser as saturable absorber.
