“…The proposed system has the advantage that it does not use an erbium-doped fiber as a gain medium as reported earlier by other works [4][5][6][7]. The output multi- wavelength lines are obtained through careful optimization of the output coupling ratio and the employment of an optical circulator as a reflector, which is relatively more than those obtained earlier as in references [8,9].…”

A linear cavity Brillouin fiber laser (BFL) is proposed and demonstrated for multi-wavelength operation. The BFL uses a single mode fiber (SMF) as a non-linear gain medium and an optical circulator to generate a linear cavity resonator. Two couplers are used to inject the Brillouin Pump (BP) and tap the BFL output respectively. The effect of the coupler ratio on the BFL performance is studied by keeping constant the ratio of the first coupler and varying the ratio of the second coupler. 11 simultaneous lines with a line spacing of 0.8 nm are obtained at a BP of 11.7 dBm and a coupler ratio of 95:5. The laser output is stable at room temperature with 5 lines obtained at above -30 dBm, and has the largest signal to noise ratio observed at the remaining lines. The proposed BFL has the advantage of being able to operate at any wavelength and is only dependent on the available BP wavelength. Wavelength, nmPower, dBm

“…Recent reports have demonstrated the generation of multiple lines from Brillouin fiber laser structures [5,6]. However, owing to the nature of low Brillouin gain coefficient in optical fibers, a hybrid laser structure is proposed by integrating the Brillouin gain medium and Erbium-doped fiber gain medium [7,8].…”

Abstract:We have demonstrated a new configuration of Brillouin-Erbium fiber laser, in which the Brillouin pump is preamplified within the laser cavity before entering the single-mode fiber. By using this simple scheme, a lower external Brillouin pump power is required to create the Brillouin gain and suppresses the laser cavity modes. The proposed laser structure exhibits a wide tuning range of 13 nm from 1597 nm to 1610 nm with 1480 nm pump power of 100 mW. The number of channels obtained within this wavelength range is 14 channels with 0.089 nm spacing.

“…Multiwavelength fiber lasers with stable wavelength spacing have gained much interest recently for appli cations such as optical communication, microwave photonic system and optical sensor [1][2][3]. The laser can be realized using a nonlinear process inside optical fibers namely stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) [4].…”

A double frequency spaced multiwavelength Brillouin-Erbium doped fiber laser (BEDFL) with figure of eight cavity have been successfully developed and tested. Double frequency spacing is achieved by using a piece of 2 km of highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) as a gain medium. Figure of eight configuration removes the odd order Stokes signals via a four port circulator. Fifteen Stokes channels are simultaneously generated with a spacing of 0.154 nm that is around 20 GHz, when the Brillouin pump and 980 nm pump powers are fixed at the optimized values of 6 dBm and 40 mW, respectively. Fourteen anti stoke channels are also obtained, which are generated through four wave mixing (FWM) process in the laser cavity. The output is smooth triangular comb. The BEFL can also be tuned from 1526.5 to 1567.5 nm.
