Investigations on an All-Tunable Fiber Ring Resonator
نویسندگان
چکیده
The architecture of an all-tunable optical fiber ring resonator is described in detail in this paper. This architecture has been firstly modeled using an original CAD approach. The simulation results demonstrate a total control of both the absolute frequency and the free spectral range of the final optical resonance comb generated by the optical resonator. The different experimental setups used to characterize the tunable resonator are described and the obtained results proving the concept are also provided.

A tunable erbium-doped fiber ring laser with power-equalized output.
We propose and demonstrate a tunable erbium-based fiber ring laser with power-equalized output. When a mode-restricting intracavity fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter (FFP-TF) is combined, the proposed resonator can guarantee a tunable laser oscillation. This proposed laser can obtain the flatter lasing wavelength in an effectively operating range of 1533.3 to 1574.6 nm without any other operatin...
متن کاملFrequency locking of tunable diode lasers to a stabilized ring-cavity resonator
We demonstrate a technique for locking the frequency of a tunable diode laser to a ring-cavity resonator. The resonator is stabilized to a diode laser which is in turn locked to an atomic transition, thus giving it absolute frequency calibration. The ring-cavity design has the principal advantage that there is no feedback destabilization of the laser. The cavity has a free-spectral range of 1.3...
متن کاملAll-optical tuning of a magnetic-fluid-filled optofluidic ring resonator.
An all-optical tunable optofluidic ring resonator (OFRR) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The all-optical control of a silica microresonator is highly attractive, but it is difficult to realize because of the relatively weak Kerr effect and the absence of a plasma dispersion effect of silica. Here, we infuse a silica microcapillary-based optofluidic ring resonator with a magnetic fl...
متن کاملWavelength Tunable Laser with Silica-Waveguide Ring Resonators
We have proposed a tunable laser with silica-waveguide ring resonators. In this tunable laser, a semiconductor optical amplifier was passively aligned and mounted onto a silica-waveguide substrate. The ring resonators can be tuned by controlling their temperatures using the thermo optic heaters formed on them, and there are no mechanically moving parts. Thus, they are sufficiently stable and re...
متن کاملSub-kHz lasing of a CaF₂ whispering gallery mode resonator stabilized fiber ring laser.
We utilize a high quality calcium fluoride whispering-gallery-mode resonator to passively stabilize a simple erbium doped fiber ring laser with an emission frequency of 196THz (wavelength 1530nm) to an instantaneous linewidth below 650Hz. This corresponds to a relative stability of 3.3 × 10(-12) over 16μs. In order to characterize the linewidth we use two identical self-built lasers and a comme...
