We demonstrate a simple method to produce high-energy pulses with peak powers up to 100 times their average power and with duration on the order of 1 μs using the synchronization of relaxation oscillations by drive current modulation of the intracavity pump laser diode. The forced sustained relaxation oscillations are shown to depend on wavelength, and the frequency locking curve exhibits a strong asymmetry with hysteresis behavior     

Modeling and optimization of short Yb3+-sensitized Er3+-doped fiber amplifiers

Short high-concentration Yb³⁺-sensitized Er³⁺-doped fiber amplifiers are modeled and numerically investigated in the small-signal domain. Concentration quenching is included with a term quadratic in the concentration of excited Er³⁺ . We find that for fibers shorter than 1 m, the small-signal gain can be larger for sensitized fibers than for non-sensitized ones (31 dB gain vs. 22 dB at 5 cm). Without concentration quenching (e.g. for long fibers), Yb³⁺-free amplifiers have a higher small-signal gain. The achievable gain of the sensitized amplifier is independent of the pump laser wavelength, if the Yb-concentration is correspondingly optimized. However, restrictions on allowable Yb-concentrations imply that for a specific pump wavelength, a finite range of amplifiers lengths is suitable

Modeling of Yb3+-sensitized Er3+-doped silicawaveguide amplifiers

A model for Yb³⁺-sensitized Er³⁺-doped silica waveguide amplifiers is described and numerically investigated in the small-signal regime. The amplified spontaneous emission in the ytterbium-band and the quenching process between excited erbium ions are included in the model. For pump wavelengths between 860 and 995 nm, the amplified spontaneous emission in the ytterbium-band is found to reduce both the gain and the optimum length of the amplifier significantly. The achievable gain of the Yb³⁺-sensitized amplifier is found to be higher than in an Er³⁺-doped silica waveguide without Yb ³⁺ (18 dB versus 9 dB for a pump power of 100 mW). However, it is important to optimize the Yb-concentration according to the choice of pump wavelength     

A unidirectional Er3+-doped fiber ring laser withoutisolator

An Er³⁺-doped fiber ring laser with unidirectional operation without optical isolator has been investigated for different cavity conditions. The fiber ring laser cavity is built in such a way that the optical fields propagating in the two directions suffer different losses. As a consequence, the laser oscillation appears in a quasi-unidirectional form. By incorporating a fiber pigtailed bandpass filter to enhance mode competition, a purely unidirectional tunable fiber ring laser is obtained with high efficiency and broad tunability
