L-band multiwavelength fiber laser using an elliptical fiber

In this letter, we propose and demonstrate a simple and novel technique to get multiwavelength operation in the L-band by using an elliptical core erbium-doped fiber. The principle of operation is based on the anisotropic gain effect in a polarization-maintaining fiber. Stable multiwavelength operation is achieved at room temperatures. The lasing lines may be controlled by a polarization controller     

Novel fiber sensor arrays using erbium-doped fiber amplifiers

We examine the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance of a novel type of time domain multiplexed sensor arrays in which low gain (1-10 dB) fiber amplifiers are incorporated to compensate for splitting losses between sensors. The system noise figure for passive and amplified sensor arrays is presented, along with expressions to optimize the array parameters for high SNRs. We show that practical amplified sensor arrays exhibit low system noise figures that allow much larger arrays (hundreds of sensors) than passive arrays     

Single-mode hole-assisted fiber as a bending-loss insensitive fiber

We investigate the design and characteristics of a single-mode and low bending loss HAF both numerically and experimentally. An air filling fraction S is introduced to enable us to design a HAF with desired characteristics more easily. We show that we can expect to realize a single-mode and low bending loss HAF by considering the S dependence of the bending loss α_b and cutoff wavelength λ_c as well as their relative index difference Δ dependence. We also show that the mode-field diameter (MFD) and chromatic dispersion characteristics of the single-mode and low bending loss HAF can be tailored by optimizing the distance between the core and the air holes. We also investigate the usefulness of the fabricated HAFs taking the directly modulated transmission and multipath interference (MPI) characteristics into consideration. We show that the designed HAF has sufficient applicability to both analog and digital transmission systems. Our results reveal that the single-mode and low bending loss HAF is beneficial in terms of developing a future fiber to the home (FTTH) network as well as for realizing flexible optical wiring.

Switchable and tunable multiwavelength erbium-doped fiber laser with fiber Bragg gratings and photonic crystal fiber

We propose and report on a novel multiwavelength-switchable-tunable erbium-doped fiber laser with excellent stability and uniformity based on four-wave mixing (FWM) in a highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber. By adjusting the attenuators, the single, dual, or triple wavelengths can be lasing simultaneously. Under the influence of the FWM, the spectrum is stabilized and the uniformity is less than 0.6 dB.     

Gain-clamped fiber amplifier with a short length ofpreamplification fiber

Although gain-clamping an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) by a counterpropagating ring resonator prevents oscillation light from being output, it degrades the amplifier's noise figure. The noise figure degradation can be reduced by using a length of EDF, that is short enough not to cause any gain saturation, for preamplification. Experiments confirm that the prestage EDFA reduces the noise figure degradation under constant gain operation
