Optical fiber laser pulse pedestal suppression and compression using Gires-Tournois interferometer

This report experimentally demonstrates optical pulse compression and pedestal suppression of mode-locked fiber laser. A simple Fabry-Perot in the reflection mode is utilized as Gires-Tournois interferometer (GTI) inside the seed of fiber-based mode-locked laser setup to compensate the group velocity dispersion (GVD) in all normal dispersion regime at 1030nm.
