Wavelength-selectable laser emission from a multistripe array grating integrated cavity laser

چکیده
We report laser operation of a multistripe array grating integrated cavity (MAGIC) laser in which the wavelength of the emission from a single output stripe is chosen by selectively injection pumping a second stripe. We demonstrate a device that lases in the 1.5 pm fiber band at 15 wavelengths, evenly spaced by -2 nm. The single-output/wavelength-selectable operation, together with the accurate predefinition of the lasing wavelengths, makes the MAGIC laser a very attractive candidate for use in multiwavelength networks.

Simultaneous multiple wavelength operation of a multistripe array grating integrated cavity laser
Simultaneous multiple-wavelength operation of a multistripe array grating integrated cavity laser is reported. We demonstrate simultaneous lasing from a single output port at 2, 3, and 4 discrete wavelengths, each independently selected from a comb of 9 wavelengths set at -2 nm intervals, from 1512 to 1.528 nm. Signal cross talk is examined for the case of two-wavelength emission and found to b...

Application of the Transverse Chirped Bragg Grating (TCBG a reflecting volume Bragg grating with continuously variable resonant wavelength across the aperture) for the narrowband tunable ring-cavity fiber laser is presented. The main advantage of the use of TCBG is that its linear translation allows continuous tuning of emission wavelength within 5-10 nm band. Yb doped fiber laser operating in ...
