Q-switching an all-fiber laser using acousto-optic null coupler
A new method for Q-switching an all-fiber laser is presented. It is based on induced acoustic long period grating operating on a null coupler, which acts as acoustically controlled tunable output coupler. Q-switching is achieved by switching on and off the acoustic wave in a burst mode, thereby generating laser pulses that are *400 times shorter than the acoustically controlled coupler’s rise t...
متن کاملAll - Fibre Acousto - Optic Tunable Filter Based on a Null Coupler
Tunable acousto-optic spectral filters based on null couplers have been improved by making the coupler more uniform. A new double-pass arrangement further narrows the bandwidth, reduces the sidelobes to -20 dB and doubles the frequency shift,
متن کاملAll-fiber acousto-optic frequency shifter.
An all-fiber-optic frequency shifter is demonstrated that uses mode coupling between the LP(01) and LP(11) modes by a traveling acoustic flexural wave guided along the optical fiber. The input and output leads of this frequency shifter are single-mode fibers. Unity mode-conversion efficiency for cw operation is achieved at 8-MHz frequency shift with about 0.25 W of electrical input power. Carri...
متن کاملAxial strain dependence of all-fiber acousto-optic tunable filters.
We report the axial strain dependence of two types of all-fiber acousto-optic tunable filters based on flexural and torsional acoustic waves. Experimental observation of the resonant wavelength shift under applied axial strain could be explained by theoretical consideration of the combination of acoustic and optical effects. We discuss the possibility of suppressing the strain effect in the fil...
متن کاملNarrowband, polarization insensitive all-fiber acousto-optic tunable bandpass filter.
We demonstrate an all-fiber acousto-optic tunable bandpass filter exhibiting narrow optical bandwidth and negligible polarization dependence by employing a novel ultraviolet (UV)-induced core-mode blocker written in a high numerical aperture (NA) fiber. It was demonstrated that the device had the measured 3-dB optical bandwidth of 0.65 nm, the polarization-dependent center-wavelength splitting ...
