Dual-wavelength single-longitudinal- mode erbium fiber laser for temperature measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
A dual-wavelength erbium fiber laser with single-longitudinal-mode characteristic is proposed and demonstrated. The system uses a 7-m-long highly doped erbium-doped fiber as the primary gain medium while two fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) act as a wavelength selection mechanism. The sensing capability of the FBGs gives this source the possibility to be also used in a dual-sensor multiplexing scheme. The system is very stable and suitable for sensor multiplexing. © The Authors. Published by SPIE under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.

A tunable and switchable single-longitudinal-mode dual-wavelength fiber laser with a simple linear cavity.
A simple linear cavity erbium-doped fiber laser based on a Fabry-Perot filter which consists of a pair of fiber Bragg gratings is proposed for tunable and switchable single-longitudinal-mode dual-wavelength operation. The single-longitudinal-mode is obtained by the saturable absorption of an unpumed erbium-doped fiber together with a narrow-band fiber Bragg grating. Under the high pump power (>...

A novel wavelength-switchable single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) implemented based on a sigma architecture that is composed of a ring loop and a linear standing wave arm is experimentally demonstrated. Gain competition that prevents stable dual-wavelength oscillation is effectively suppressed by placing the gain medium in the standing-wave arm and by ...

A stable and wavelength-tunable S-band erbium-doped fiber (EDF) ring laser with single-longitudinal-mode oscillation over the operating range of 1480.6 to 1522.9 nm is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The proposed ring laser provides a fine mode restriction and guarantees the single-frequency operation based on a shorter length EDF serving as auto-tracking filter. Therefore, the perfor...
متن کاملLinewidth reduction and wavelength tuning of an erbium-doped fiber laser by use of a single-mode-selected and side-mode-suppressed Fabry-Perot laser diode.
A single-mode and highly side-mode-suppressed 1.55-microm Fabry-Perot laser diode (FPLD) is achieved by feedback injection with an erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL). For selection of the strongest longitudinal mode from the gain spectrum of the FPLD for lasing in the EDFL, the FPLD is operated at just below the threshold condition and is feedback injected by 0.02% of the EDFL output power. The la...
