Wavelength-switchable fiber ring laser using chirped Moiré fiber grating combined with Sagnac loop interferometer
A simple, cost-effective and switchable five-wavelength fiber ring laser based on a chirped moiré fiber grating (CMFG) and a wavelengthtunable Sagnac loop interferometer (FSI) filter is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. To serve as wavelength selective element, the CMFG possesses excellent comb-like filtering characteristics, and its fabrication method is easy and flexible. The usage of...
متن کاملWavelength and bandwidth-tunable silicon comb filter based on Sagnac loop mirrors with Mach-Zehnder interferometer couplers.
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a wavelength and bandwidth-tunable comb filter based on silicon Sagnac loop mirrors (SLMs) with Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) couplers. By thermally tuning the MZI couplers in common and differential modes, the phase shift and reflectivity of the SLMs can be changed, respectively, leading to tunable wavelength and bandwidth of the comb filter. The f...
متن کاملUltrafast gating using a nonlinear Sagnac interferometer
Ultrafast gating is a powerful technique for applications such as time resolved spectroscopy [ 1-3 ], imaging through scattering media [4-7 ], or nonlinear optics [ 8 ]. Several methods have been used, each of which has its own limitations. The Kerr shutter [ 3 ] is extremely fast (femtosecond) but requires high peak power lasers. It has a maximum transmission of approximately 10 percent, and i...
متن کاملSingle-photon Sagnac interferometer
We present the first experimental demonstration of the optical Sagnac effect at the single-photon level. Using a high quality guided-wave heralded singlephoton source at 1550 nm and a fibre optics setup, we obtain an interference pattern with net visibilities up to (99.2 ± 0.4%). On the basis of this high visibility and the compactness of the setup, the interest of such a system for fibre optic...
متن کاملMulti-wavelength Fiber Optical Parametric Oscillator Based on a Highly Nonlinear Fiber and a Sagnac Loop Filter
A novel multi-wavelength fiber optical parametric oscillator (MW-FOPO) with a ring cavity structure is proposed. In the ring cavity of the MW-FOPO, a Sagnac loop filter which is formed by a 3-dB optical coupler, a polarization controller and a segment of polarization maintained fiber is used as the comb filter, and a segment of highly nonlinear fiber is used as the gain medium. Multi-wavelength...
