Switchable multiwavelength erbium-doped fiber laser with cascadedfiber grating cavities

We propose a new concept to produce switchable multiwavelength oscillations with a cascaded fiber Bragg grating overlapping cavity erbium-doped fiber laser. The laser can be designed to operate in multiwavelength or in wavelength switching modes. The different lines have different thresholds. For three-wavelength oscillation, the output powers are linear or piecewise linear functions of the input pump power. An output with a variation of only 1.5 dB has been achieved with an input pump power of 100 mW. For wavelength switching, three single-wavelength and two dual-wavelength operation regions have been obtained toy adjusting the input pump levels     

Multiwavelength generation in a Raman fiber laser with sampled Bragg grating

Simultaneous continuous-wave multiwavelength operation of a Raman fiber laser is demonstrated with sampled Bragg grating (SBG) at room temperature. The characteristics of multiwavelength fiber ring laser can be easily controlled by adjusting the parameters of the SBG, including the sampling period and the sampling length. In the proposed fiber laser, stable four oscillating wavelengths with 100- and 50-GHz spacing has been achieved, respectively, as well as five oscillating ones with a wavelength spacing of only 25 GHz by varying the sampling period of the SBG.     

Simultaneous operation of a Raman fiber amplifier and laser pumped by a dual-wavelength Nd/sup 3+/-doped fiber laser

This paper presents an experimental study on the dynamics of Raman fiber lasers that use highly GeO/sub 2/-doped fibers as an active medium and a dual-wavelength (1060 and 1090 nm) Nd/sup 3+/-doped fiber laser as a pump source. The 1090-nm pump wavelength is located within the SiO/sub 2/ Raman gain spectrum relating to the 1060-nm pump wavelength, and competition is observed between Raman amplification of the 1090-nm emission with the 1060-nm emission used as the pump source and Raman lasing, which is independent of the 1090-nm amplification and which is also uses the 1060-nm emission as the pump source. Several pump configurations have been demonstrated to generate specific Stokes emissions generated through Raman lasing or amplification. Changing the gain-to-loss ratio by introducing intracavity loss of Raman emissions or increasing the Raman fiber length within each configuration can force either Raman amplification or lasing to dominate. The maximum slope efficiency as a function of the launched pump power was /spl sim/55% with a total output power of 1.6 W produced. A red shift of both the pump and the Stokes wavelengths is experimentally observed when the launched diode pump power is scaled up.     

具有三级放大结构的铷蒸气激光系统的优化设计

由于半导体激光泵浦碱金属蒸气激光器（DPAL）的饱和增益较大,因此采用主振荡功率放大器（MOPA）结构对其进行定标放大是实现其高功率化的理想选择。基于端面泵浦DPAL-MOPA系统的微观动力学理论模型设计了铷蒸气DPAL的三级放大系统。另外,分别对长度为3、5、7 cm的三种密闭蒸气池在不同温度条件下的增益特性做了详细的计算与分析,最终确定预放大级的密闭蒸气池长度为3 cm,一级主放大级的为5 cm,二级主放大级的为7 cm。基于这种三级MOPA结构可把功率为50 mW的铷蒸气DPAL种子光放大至1 000 W量级。同时,也评估了采用此设计方案时,整个MOPA系统所产生的自发辐射功率和热功率。该研究对将来实现高功率DPAL提供了设计思路和理论依据。

Optical bistability in an L-band dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser with overlapping cavities

The authors investigate the optical bistability in an L-band dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser with overlapping cavities. The bistable input-output hysteresis behavior of the two lasing wavelengths evolves in antiphase. The bistable region is tens of milliwatts wide. The bistability is essentially due to the homogeneous saturable absorption of EDF. The cross-gain saturation causes the bistabilities of the two lasing lines to evolve in antiphase with respect to each other. The gain clamping effect helps to widen the bistable region, which may be controlled by the cavity loss and by the EDF length.

Multi-wavelength Brillouin erbium-doped fiber laser with 40 GHz frequency shift interval assisted by Sagnac loop filter

A switchable and tunable multi-wavelength Brillouin erbium-doped fiber laser (MWBEFL) is designed and experimentally demonstrated. A Sagnac loop filter is employed as the switcher to obtain the double Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) of 0.172 nm (~20 GHz) and the quadruple BFS of 0.35 nm (~40 GHz). The working principles of the proposed laser are theoretically analyzed. The experimental results show that up to 8 Stokes lines with a wavelength interval of 0.172 nm can be obtained. When the Sagnac loop filter is used, two different output spectra with wavelength interval of 0.35 nm are obtained by adjusting the polarization controller (PC) and the optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) is greater than 33 dB. By adjusting the Brillouin pump (BP) wavelength to investigate the tunability of the fiber laser, the output of 2—5 laser channels can be realized corresponding to 20 nm wavelength range. This approach is simple and can be employed for the microwave generation of other frequency ranges subject to the filtering shift of the Sagnac loop.

High-power supercontinuum generation in a nested linear cavity involving a CW Raman fiber laser

We construct a novel nested linear cavity configuration to generate supercontinuum (SC) under continuous-wave pump. With this structure, stimulated Raman scattering and four-wave mixing can affect the whole region of the SC spectrum while the pump line is removed outside of the continuum, and a symmetrical spectrum can be obtained. The properties of the structure are demonstrated by using 3.5-km single-mode fiber, and an SC centered at 1315 nm with the bandwith of 102 nm and the output power of 1.3 W is achieved. By tuning the feedback fiber Bragg grating, we can easily adjust the spectral shape of SC to fit different requirement.
