“…However, such techniques often employ a combination of components or the requirement to modify their characteristics, thus adding complexity to their operation and control. For example, as reported in [3], stable wavelength output was achieved by the use of an apodised FBG with the addition of an intra-cavity high finesse FBG Fabry-Perot etalon. The modification of the FBG as well as the fact that the fibre system used relatively low pumping power decreased the likelihood of spontaneous noise fluctuations within the gain media.…”

Abstract─ We investigate the optimisation of the length of an un-pumped erbium doped fibre (EDF) in order to suppress amplifier noise in a linear-cavity fibre laser structure. The experimental results demonstrate the existence of an optimum length of the un-pumped EDF which eliminates noise due to high optical pumping powers, thus leading to a stable laser output.Index Terms─ Fibre laser, saturable absorber, erbium doped fibre, linear cavity, amplifier noise.

“…Secondly, an ultranarrow mode selecting mechanism should be utilized to eliminate the multi-longitudinal-mode oscillation and mode competition, caused by the long cavity length and hence the narrow longitudinal mode spacing. Such an ultranarrow bandpass filter can be obtained by using a phase shifted fiber Bragg grating (FBG) [6], an SA based Sagnac loop [13], or an FBG-based Fabry-Perot (F-P) filter [14,15]. Although the FBG based F-P filter has been utilized in the ring cavity of fiber laser to realize the SLM operation [14,15], no single to dual wavelength switching can be achieved.…”

A simple linear cavity erbium-doped fiber laser based on a Fabry-Perot filter which consists of a pair of fiber Bragg gratings is proposed for tunable and switchable single-longitudinal-mode dualwavelength operation. The single-longitudinal-mode is obtained by the saturable absorption of an unpumed erbium-doped fiber together with a narrow-band fiber Bragg grating. Under the high pump power (>166mW) condition, the stable dual-wavelength oscillation with uniform amplitude can be realized by carefully adjusting the polarization controller in the cavity. Wavelength selection and switching are achieved by tuning the narrow-band fiber Bragg grating in the system. The spacing of the dualwavelength can be selected at 0.20nm (~ 25.62GHz), 0.22nm (~ 28.19GHz) and 0.54nm (~ 69.19GHz). ©2009 Optical Society of AmericaOCIS codes: (000.0000) General; (000.2700) General science.

“…For example, optical systems that require wavelengths to be evenly spaced, such as WDM, need a laser source where the output wavelength can be discretely tuned [1]. Several tunable fibre laser structures have been reported [2][3][4][5][6][7][8], most of them are based on erbium-doped fibre amplifiers (EDFAs) and employ one or a combination of components or techniques for wavelength selection or tuning, including Fibre Bragg Gratings (FGB) [2 -4], etalon based filters like Fabry-Perot cavity [5 -6] and acousto-optic based tunable filters [7]. *E-mail: dmichel@our.ecu.edu.au This paper proposes and demonstrates a novel continuously linear-cavity tunable fibre laser employing an Opto-VLSI processor as the wavelength selection mechanism.…”

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.
