چکیده
A theoretical study of active mode-locking fiber loop laser using semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) was presented in this paper. The effects of linewidth broadening factor of SOA on active mode-locking were investigated originally. The relations between parameters of output pulse series and the critical parameters of SOA and other elements in fiber loop were obtained. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

20-GHz broadly tunable and stable mode-locked semiconductor amplifier fiber ring laser.
We present an actively mode-locked fiber ring laser that uses a single active semiconductor optical amplifier device to provide both gain and gain modulation from an external optical pulse train. The laser source generated 4.3-ps pulses at 20 GHz over a 16-nm tuning range and is stable against environmental changes and simple to build.

A theoretical study of a high repetition rate laser source based on a novel mode locking technique is presented. This technique relies on the fast saturation and recovery of a semiconductor optical amplifier induced by an external optical pulse and has been used to obtain 4.3 ps pulses at 20 GHz. A numerical model of the fiber ring laser has been developed describing the mode locking process in...
متن کاملNumerical study of mode-locked semiconductor optical amplifier fiber ring laser
Based on self-reproduction theory, harmonic and rational harmonic mode-locked semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) fiber ring lasers have been numerically investigated, respectively. Harmonic mode locking makes a target of obtaining ultra-short pulse. While in rational harmonic mode locking, it is urgently needed to solve that pulse amplitude becomes uneven with the increase of the order of ra...

متن کاملDynamics of optical backward-injection-induced gain-depletion modulation and mode locking in semiconductor optical amplifier fiber lasers.
The optical gain-depletion-induced mode-locking dynamics of a semiconductor optical-amplifier-based fiber ring laser (SOAFL) backward injected by a purely sinusoidally modulated or digitally encoded distributedfeedback laser diode are theoretically and experimentally demonstrated. The effect of gain depletion and waveform on the mode-locked pulse width, pulse shape, and power of the SOAFL are i...
