Resumen:
A stable and short pulse train of 100 MHz repetition frequency was obtained from an erbium doped fiber laser excited by a ‘‘continuous” semiconductor laser and by using a linear cavity defined by a Bragg grating pair. The operation frequency of the fiber laser was greater (5–15 times) than the cavity round-trip frequency. Emission properties obtained from the erbium doped fiber laser were correlated with those taken from the pump laser, which presented a particular optical noise (very short pulses) added to the continuous emission. From the temporal and radio-frequency analysis of both systems, we conclude that the pump emission  characteristics are the responsible of the fiber laser pulsed behaviour.
