“…A maximum BP power of 11.7 dBm with 1550 nm BP wavelength was chosen to inject into the laser cavity. In this paper, as compared to our previous configurations [1,[8][9][10], we successfully reported the increment number of BS signals with an acceptable average optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) value. The employment of a fiber Bragg grating's (FBG) reflectivity offers a direct impact to produce better lasing performance in a ring cavity.…”

Abstract.A multi-wavelength Brillouin fiber laser with the implementation of reflective fiber Bragg grating is developed. In this ring cavity architecture, the fiber laser system is performed by the stimulated Brillouin scattering effect and four-wave mixing process. An improvement in the number Brillouin Stokes signal and average of the optical signal to noise ratio were generated through the reflection process of fiber Bragg grating. Due to the optimization of output coupling ratio from 10% to 60%, the highest Brillouin Stokes signal of 17 and average optical signal to noise ratio of 14.7 dB were recorded at 60% of the output coupling ratio. The amplified Brillouin pump power of 16.5 dBm at 1550 nm of Brillouin pump wavelength was injected into the laser system. A constant line spacing of 0.08 nm at each of the Brillouin Stokes signals was also recorded.

“…The high capacity transmission in optical communication system requires multiwavelength laser source. For this reason, different multiwavelength laser structures have been adopted such as multiwavelength Brillouin/Raman fiber lasers (MW-BRFLs) [1], multiwavelength Brillouin fiber lasers (MW-BFLs) [2], multiwavelength erbium doped fiber lasers (MW-EDFLs) [3]- [5] and multiwavelength Brillouin/erbium fiber lasers (MW-BEFLs) [6], [7]. MW-BRFs and MW-BEFLs are the most interesting laser sources among multiwavelength laser approaches.…”

A wide band tunable multiwavelength Brillouin-erbium fiber laser (BEFL) is developed. In this structure, the laser is formed between a double pass amplification box and a highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF), which acts as a virtual mirror, results in removing the reflective physical mirror from one side of the laser structure. A large number of Stokes and anti-Stokes lines are generated through cascading stimulated Brillouin scattering and inducing four wave mixing process inside the HNLF. Due to optimizing Brillouin and erbium doped fiber (EDF) pump powers, the Rayleigh back scattering is efficiently suppressed, and the generated BEFL wavelengths are free from self lasing cavity modes over a wide tuning range. At EDF pump power and Brillouin pump power of 100 mW and 3 dBm, respectively, up to 150 Stokes lines with wavelength spacing of 0.076 nm, and a tuning range of 40 nm were achieved.
