5th order rational harmonic mode-locked fiber ring laser corresponding to 50 GHz pulse train

A scheme to generate 50 GHz pulse train using rational harmonic mode locking technique is proposed and studied experimentally. The modulation frequency is adjusted to achieve a 50 GHz pulse train which has a pulse width of 5.25 ps. Numerical simulation results show good agreement with the experimental results.
