Opto-VLSI-based tunable linear-cavity fibre laser

Abstract

Abstract─ A novel approach using an Opto-VLSI processor to achieve a tunable fibre laser is presented. The Opto-VLSI based fibre laser is able to tune wavelengths and maintain a high Side-Mode Suppression Ratio (SMSR) even when the output optical power is low. Experimental results show a continuously tunable fibre laser source with a tuning range as high as 30 nm and a SMSR exceeding 30 dB.Index Terms─ Opto-VLSI, erbium doped fibre, fibre laser, tunable laser, linear cavity.

Stabilisation of linear-cavity fibre laser using a saturable absorber

“…The reported fibre laser system can be integrated to the previously reported Opto-VLSI based fibre laser linear cavity structure [7] to produce a tunable fibre laser system with excellent stability.…”
