PCT No. PCT/GB94/00355 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 14, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 14, 1995 PCT Filed Feb. 23, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO94/19847 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 1, 1994A method is described of stabilizing the output of a mode-locked fibre ring laser (1). The fibre constituting the laser (1) includes a dopant in its core. The method comprises the steps of adjusting the length of the ring laser (1) to minimise variations in its cavity length, and hence lock the phase of the laser output pulses with that of its drive source (2), and subjecting a portion (1a) of the fibre of the ring laser (1) to vibrations at a predetermined frequency whose period is less than the dopant ion upper state lifetime.
