Linearly chirped erbium-doped fiber laser

Linear tuning the frequency of an erbium-doped fiber laser over a 46-nm spectral range is demonstrated using a rotating mirror/grating combination as one of the reflectors in a Fabry-Perot laser cavity. The rate of frequency change is determined by monitoring the fringes produced when the laser light reflects from a fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer (FFPI). A root mean square variation of the tuning rate of <0.2% over the entire range is achieved using feedback from the FFPI to adjust the voltage ramp which drives the rotating mirror. The measured spectral width of the laser is 33 pm (4.2 GHz).

Gamma radiation effects on erbium-doped fiber in superfluorescent fiber source

The radiation effects of two erbium-doped superfluorescent fiber sources (SFSs) are studied in gamma ray environment. Two types of output spectrum profile (twin-peaked spectrum and single-peaked spectrum) of SFSs are constructed by different configuration and parameters. The dependence of radiation-induced power loss and spectra evolution on the dosage is revealed. The results show that the amplitudes of radiation-induced power decrease are quite similar in two SFSs. But the mean wavelength variation of the single-peaked spectrum SFS is approximately 25 times smaller than that of the twin-peaked spectrum SFS. Compared to the twin-peaked spectrum SFS, the single-peaked spectrum SFS presents better radiation tolerance, which should have potential advantages in space applications.     

Stable single-mode compound-ring erbium-doped fiber laser

In this paper we report the fabrication of a robust, tunable single-longitudinal-mode compound-ring Er³⁺-doped fiber laser. The laser is fundamentally structured on an all-fiber compound-ring resonator in which a dual-coupler fiber ring is inserted into the main cavity. When combined in tandem with a mode-restricting intracavity tunable bandpass filter, the compound-ring resonator ensures single-longitudinal-mode laser oscillation. The laser can provide up to 20 mW output power over much of its 1525 to 1570 nm wavelength tuning range. The short-term linewidth of the laser output measured is less than 5 kHz. The laser frequency is actively stabilized for a long time by exploiting the inherent filter nature of the compound-ring resonator. The reduction of an associated frequency modulation is also discussed in detail     

Wavelength-switchable single-frequency erbium-doped fiber ring laser

We demonstrate a single-frequency and wavelength-switchable fiber ring laser obtained by a Lyot filter used in combination with a sampled fiber Bragg grating and a saturable absorber. The operating wavelength of the laser can be tuned, with a constant 0.8-nm step, in the range 1552.6-1555.8 nm. The tuning mechanism works on the rotation of the polarization of Lyot filter input signal. The structure of the laser is very simple regarding its characteristics: an output power of 6 dBm, with a signal-to-noise ratio higher than 60 dB and a spectral linewidth of 8 kHz.

A tunable S-band erbium-doped fiber ring laser

In this paper, we experimentally investigate and demonstrate an S-band erbium-doped fiber (EDF) ring laser based on an erbium-doped silica fiber and 980-nm pumping laser. Widely tunable range from 1480 to 1522 nm, and the sidemode suppression ratio (SMSR) of >30 dB/0.1 nm and the output power of >-2 dBm in the operating range from 1482 nm to 1517 nm have been achieved for this ring laser. Under the constant power control, the output power variation less than /spl plusmn/0.05 dB can also be accomplished over the tuning range from 1482 to 1517 nm. This S-band EDF ring laser is promising for the future S-band applications.
