Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and systems for active saturable absorbance of an optical beam. An active saturable absorber may comprise an optical input to receive an optical beam, and one or more lengths of fiber between the optical input and an optical output. At least one of the lengths of fiber comprises a confinement region that is optically coupled to the output. The active saturable absorber may further comprise an optical detector to sense a characteristic of the optical beam, such as power. The active saturable absorber may further comprise a perturbation device to modulate, through action upon the one or more lengths of fiber, a transmittance of the beam through a fiber confinement region from a lower transmittance level to a higher transmittance level based on an indication of the characteristic sensed while the transmittance level is low.

Claim (Index 5):
The optical fiber absorber of  claim 3 , wherein:\n the characteristic is optical power; the controller is to vary the control signal in response to an increase in power between the first time instance and the second time instance; and in response to the control signal, the perturbation device is to change the transmittance from the lower transmittance level to the higher transmittance level by transitioning from the first state to the second state.
