N2 - Mode-locked fibre lasers (MLFL) are widely used in an extensive application field, including material processing, spectroscopy, two-photon microscopy, ophthalmology, and may other promising applications. This chapter focuses on passively mode-locked fiber lasers capable of producing even faster pico- and femto-second pulses. In its study of the variety of fiber laser generation regimes, the chapter relies on the numerical modeling of a ring fiber laser passively mode-locked due to the effect of nonlinear polarization evolution. The temporal distribution of radiation intensity for noise-like pulses is defined by two temporal parameters: the pulse-train envelope width and the typical intensity fluctuation time inside the train. Passively mode-locked fiber lasers based on artificial saturable absorption, such as nonlinear polarization evolution effect, NOLM/NALM, etc., possess a significant number of degrees of freedom. The double-scale clusters of pulses may be advantageous for the ablation applications similar to burst-mode operating lasers.
