Dynamic response of an all-fiber ring resonator.

An analysis of the dynamic response of a single-mode all-fiber ring resonator is presented in which a time-varying phase shift is induced in the ring by a phase modulator. In particular, the deviation of the response from that expected from the steady-state analysis is discussed.

Approach to the theory of mode locking by synchronous pumping.

We present a simple computational technique that, in the case of mode locking by synchronous pumping, allows the steady-state pulse profiles to be generated essentially without approximation. The results cast doubt on the validity of previous theoretical treatments of this problem.
