Noiselike pulses with a broadband spectrum generated from an erbium-doped fiber laser.
TL;DR: A theoretical model indicates that this mode of operation can be explained by the internal birefringence of the laser cavity combined with a nonlinear transmission element and the gain response of the fiber amplifier.
