Dark pulse emission in nonlinear polarization rotation-based multiwavelength mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser

We experimentally show dark pulse generation in all-normal dispersion multiwavelength erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) with a long cavity of figure-of-eight configuration. The EDFL generates a stable multiwavelength laser with 0.47 nm spacing at 24 mW threshold pump power, while the number of lines o...
