INTRODUCTION In recent years there has been an extensive growth in research activities focused on developing ultrashort (< 10 ps) pulse sources based on rare-earth-doped-fiber [1–4]. The short pulse fiber-lasers have been passively mode-locked by using the chirp-fiberBragg-grating (C-FBG) to control dispersion, the polarization controller, the semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) or the multiple quantum well saturable absorber (MQW-AS) [5]. The theory of mode-locking is based on the master equation derived under the condition that nonlinear changes to the intra-cavity pulse must be small per round-trip and fast saturable absorber action [6]. The carrier dynamics is adiabatically eliminated due to the sub-picosecond material response time and pulse widths of order ten picosecond. To obtain analytic results, the form of a complex Ginzburg-Landau equation is used, where the .
