A single mode fiber pulsed oscillator includes an all normal dispersion ring cavity provided with a mode-locking fiber loop component and a giant chirp generating fiber component. The mode-locking fiber loop component is configured with a hybrid of NOLM and NALM configurations which is operative to induce a first phase acquisition of a spectrally narrow pulse due to SPM. The giant chirp generating fiber loop component is configured to induce the additional phase acquisition to the pulse broadened in the mode-locking fiber component so as to generate a pulse with a giant chirp. The fiber loop components each include a fiber amplifier and a coil of fiber. The amplifiers each are configured with an active fiber provided with a core which supports multiple transverse mode in a range of wavelength except for the desired wavelength at which the core is configured to support a single fundamental mode.
