AB  - We characterize the timing jitter of a picosecond all-polarization-maintaining 
      (all-PM) Yb-fiber laser using the optical cross-correlation method. For the 10 
      MHz all-normal dispersion mode-locked laser with ~0.5 nm spectral bandwidth, the 
      measured high-frequency jitter is as low as 5.9 fs (RMS) when integrated from 10 
      kHz to the Nyquist frequency of 5 MHz. A complete numerical model with ASE noise 
      is built to simulate the timing jitter characteristics in consideration of 
      intracavity pulse evolution. The mutual comparison among simulation result, 
      analytical model and experiment data indicate that the few femtosecond timing 
      jitter from the picosecond fiber laser is attributed to the complete elimination 
      of Gordon-Haus jitter by narrow bandpass filtering by a fiber Bragg grating 
      (FBG). The low level of timing jitter from this compact and maintenance-free PM 
      picosecond fiber laser source at a low MHz repetition rate is promising to 
      advance a number of femtosecond-precision timing and synchronization 
      applications.
