Influence of Intra-Cavity Loss on Mode-Locking of Fiber Lasers

We experimentally characterize the influence of intra-cavity loss on mode-locking of fiber lasers using a variable attenuator and NPR. We back-up our results numerically and hope they will open a path to high loss components in fiber lasers, like optical chips or high percentage output couplers.
