ABSTRACT:
In a pulsed Fabry-Perot laser, such as a Q-switched laser or a mode-locked laser, one of the resonator reflectors comprises a waveguide loop coupled to the gain medium via a polarization splitter/combiner. In one embodiment, only a switchable isolator is located in the loop, thereby significantly reducing insertion loss.
