PCT No. PCT/AU92/00093 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 20, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 20, 1993 PCT Filed Mar. 2, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/16037 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 17, 1992A configuration enabling passive modelocking in an optical fiber device is disclosed, utilizing the non-linear Kerr effect. Various configurations are disclosed, using both standard and polarization maintaining fiber, and a bulk optics implementation. One embodiment comprises a figure of eight arrangement formed by two cross-coupled fiber loops, one of the loops being a Sagnac mirror. A further embodiment exploits the non-linearity of polarization in polarization maintaining fibers.
