چکیده
We report the development of ring-cavity tunable fiber laser based on tunable fiber Bragg gratings integrated optical circulator. The tunable laser, operates in the C band, has laser linewidth, power variation and tuning range of 0.015 nm, ±0.5 dB and 31.0 nm, respectively. As 40 mW of pump power is used, the ring-cavity tunable laser has a side mode suppression ratio of 60 dB and power conversion efficiency of 25%. These characteristics insure a high quality operation of such tunable laser.

Environmentally stable high-power erbium fiber soliton lasers are constructed by Kerr or carrier-type mode locking. We obtain high-energy pulses by using relatively short fiber lengths and providing large amounts of negative dispersion with chirped fiber Bragg gratings. The pulse energies and widths generated with both types of soliton laser are found to scale with the square root of the cavity...

We demonstrate an automatic tunable transversal notch filter based on uniform fiber Bragg gratings and a broadband optical source. High tunability can be performed by stretching the fiber with the gratings written in series. Also, high sidelobe supression can be achieved by introducing tunable attenuators in a parallel configuration of the gratings.
