Nowadays, to satisfy the increase of internet demands and requirement, two multiplexing techniques are used: WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplex) and TDM (Time Division Mul‐ tiplex). WDM still more used than TDM. However, for practical system applications, such as optical CDMA (Code Division Multiplex Access) and OTDM (Optical Time Division Multi‐ plex) systems, high speed optical communications require light sources with a repetition rate control. In this area, pulsed fiber lasers have become very attractive.
