“…Therefore, the BEFL has been used in SBS spectral characterization [8], microwave generation [9], and so on. Considering that SBS can be easily cascaded with a low-order Stokes signal as the pump of a high-order Stokes signal, multiwavelength BEFLs have been successfully applied in constructing laser frequency combs [10][11][12].…”

A single-mode Brillouin-erbium fiber laser (BEFL) is realized using only a 5 m single-mode fiber (SMF) as Brillouin gain medium, which to our best knowledge is the shortest SMF ever used to construct a BEFL. The Brillouin pump (BP) preamplification technique is adopted using a bidirectionally amplified erbium-doped fiber amplifier inside the BEFL cavity. This BEFL presents a high optical signal-to-noise ratio (~40 dB), a large output power (~10 mW), and a low 980 nm pump threshold (~15 mW). Experimental results indicate that this threshold increases with the BP power. Two lower and upper BP thresholds exist for the BEFL onset and turnoff, respectively, for a fixed 980 nm pump power. Moreover, the output power of this BEFL increases linearly with the 980 nm pump power at the same slope efficiency of ~10% for various BP powers, but decreases linearly with the BP power at the same slope efficiency of ~-26% for various 980 nm pump powers.

“…Recently, we demonstrated an ultra-stable fiber Brillouin amplifier, in which a Brillouin fiber laser (BFL) was injected as the signal source [21] . On a certain condition, the BFL may output the single-wavelength [22] ultra-narrow single-longitudinal-mode laser signal [23,24] . Owing to the same fibers used, the optical signal frequency generated in the BFL exactly equals to the Stokes signal in fiber Brillouin amplifier, and the optical frequencies simultaneously vary with the environment.…”

Large delay tunable slow-light based on high-gain stimulated-Brillouin-scattering amplification in optical fibers

Tunable stimulated-Brillouin-scattering (SBS)-based slow-light in optical fibers has potential applications in optical buffering in the future all-optical router commutation systems. However, due to the low SBS threshold and relatively high realistic signal power, the gain in the usual SBS systems is limited at ~30 dB. This paper presents a high-gain SBS scheme to realize large delay slow-light, which benefits from avoiding the depletion of the pump power in a short fiber as SBS media. The experiment demonstrates that, up to 50 dB non-saturated gain has been observed in the single-stage 591.8 m fiber SBS amplification. The slow-light delay can be obtained 52 ns, and the fractional delay can exceed 1. slow light, stimulated Brillouin scattering, SBS, fiber Brillouin amplifier, optical buffer, optical fiber

“…The main challenge is to limit the homogeneous gain broadening of erbium-doped fiber (EDF) in order to receive stable output of laser. Many effective methods have been proposed to suppress the fierce mode competition for multiwavelength oscillations at room temperature [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Recently, we have reported a tunable MWEDFL that cooperates intensity dependent loss (IDL) effect with Lyot birefringence fiber filter (BFF) [11].…”

In this paper, the performance study on the tunable multiwavelength erbium-doped fiber laser is conducted, which is based on combination of Lyot birefringence fiber filter and nonlinear fiber loop mirror. The method to achieve its optimal working is introduced in detail. The parameters choice based on the best tunability is analyzed from three different perspectives: gain medium, nonlinear effect and comb filter, respectively. All the experimental results will be given through several panels of comparison experiments. The optimal performance will finally be achieved by setting appropriate parameters. The study in this paper will further improve the function of tunable fiber filter.
