“…From the equation, the estimated linewidth of the proposed SLM Brillouin laser output is 0.65 kHz, which agrees well with the measurement of 0.7 kHz. This is, to the best of the authors' knowledge, the narrowest Brillouin linewidth measured using the self-heterodyne technique in comparison with other reports [1,5,20].…”

“…Narrow linewidth Brillouin fiber lasers (BFLs) applying low-phase noise and intensity noise are fast appearing as an ideal source for applications such as in coherent communications, high resolution spectroscopy and sensors [1,2]. To meet these needs, however, there is an immediate requirement to develop laser systems with an extremely narrow linewidth [3][4][5], in particular single longitudinal mode (SLM) fiber lasers.…”

Ultra-narrow linewidth single longitudinal mode Brillouin fiber ring laser using highly nonlinear fiber

et al. 2013

In this letter, we demonstrate a single longitudinal mode (SLM) Brillouin fiber laser by using highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) as the nonlinear medium in which the stimulated Brillouin scattering effect takes place. The first Stokes line is generated at a threshold power of 18 dBm with a wavelength shift 0.08 nm from the Brillouin pump. The signal-to-noise ratio of the first Stokes line is measured to be ~58 dB. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a 0.7 kHz ultra-narrow linewidth of an SLM Brillouin fiber laser, using HNLF as the nonlinear medium, which features a simple cavity configuration.

“…Tunable wavelength generation using a fiber laser has attracted much attention over the past few years thanks to prominent characteristics such as high thermal resistance, excellent beam quality and relatively high stability output [1]. Wide potential applications such as optical-based sensing, instrumentation, photonics device characterization and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems for optical communications can be exploited using the wavelength tunability from the fiber laser [2][3][4][5][6].…”

Tunable wavelength generation in the 1µm region incorporating a 16-channel arrayed waveguide grating (AWG)

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A tunable single-and dual-wavelength ytterbium-doped fiber laser, incorporating a 16-channel arrayed waveguide grating is proposed and demonstrated. The side mode suppression ratio from the proposed setup has an average value of 52.97 dB (single-wavelength generation) and 58.19 dB (dual-wavelength generation). The tunable dual wavelength ranged from 1039.98 nm to 1047.48 nm with wavelength spacing ranging from 0.50 nm to 7.5 nm. A stability test from the experiment shows a power variation of 0.8 dB, and a wavelength fluctuation of 0.02 nm indicates the stability and reliability of the proposed work.

“…Single frequency lasers emitting light around 1550 nm are among the key components of optical communication systems such as high capacity wave length division multiplexed (WDM) networks and externally modulated high bit rate links [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Recently, single frequency Erbium doped fiber lasers (EDFLs) have been shown to be capable of providing mode hop free lasers in the form of distributed feed back (DFB), distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) and ring lasers [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

A tunable laser is demonstrated using a microfiber knot resonator structure made by erbium doped fiber (EDF). The laser is made of a 2 m long EDF where 30 mm of its end section is tapered to con struct a microfiber knot resonator (MKR). The combination of the EDF and MKR generates a stable single wavelength laser at 1555 nm wavelength with a signal to noise ratio (SNR) of 33.7 dB using a 63 mW of 980 nm pump power. The peak wavelength of the laser can be tuned by 340 pm as the MKR diameter reduces from 5.0 to 0.5 mm with an acceptable penalty in output power.
