Modelling of the erbium-ytterbium laser

چکیده
We have developed a modelisation of the Yb:Er glass laser system for pulsed regime. The model is first validated in CW regime with a good agreement with experimental values. The agreement in Q-switch mode is only qualitative. Nevertheless, tendences are outlined due to the particular dynamical behaviour of a codoped system. Especially, we pointed out the possibility of achieving Q-switch operation with pulse repetition frequency greater than the spontaneous de-excitation rate of the erbium upper level without output laser pulse characteristic degradation. On the other hand, gain-switch operation is not well suited for such codoped systems. q 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Tunable multiwavelength fiber laser using a comb filter based on erbium-ytterbium co-doped polarization maintaining fiber loop mirror.
A tunable comb filter based on a fiber loop mirror setup, which incorporates a piece of pumped erbium-ytterbium co-doped polarization maintaining fiber, is newly presented. It is accomplished by controlling the pump power or adjusting a polarization controller in the loop mirror, which results from the fact that the effective birefringence of the erbium-ytterbium co-doped polarization maintaini...

متن کاملStable multigigahertz pulse-train formation in a short-cavity passively harmonic mode-locked erbium/ytterbium fiber laser.
We demonstrate a short-cavity erbium-ytterbium fiber laser that is passively mode locked by a saturable Bragg reflector with a fundamental repetition rate of 235 MHz . The laser operates in the soliton regime and under passive harmonic mode locking with 11 pulses in the cavity and produces output pulse trains at 2.6 GHz with transform-limited 270-fs pulses and 1.6 mW of average power. Within th...
متن کاملHighly efficient hybrid fiber taper coupled microsphere laser.
A novel hybrid fiber taper is proposed and demonstrated as the coupler in a microsphere laser system. The pump wave and the laser emission, respectively, are more efficiently coupled to and from the sphere modes with this taper structure. A 980-nm pumped erbium-ytterbium codoped phosphate microsphere laser is demonstrated in the 1550-nm band. As much as 112microW of single-frequency laser outpu...
متن کاملMonolithic erbium- and ytterbium-doped microring lasers on silicon chips.
We demonstrate monolithic 160-µm-diameter rare-earth-doped microring lasers using silicon-compatible methods. Pump light injection and laser output coupling are achieved via an integrated silicon nitride waveguide. We measure internal quality factors of up to 3.8 × 105 at 980 nm and 5.7 × 105 at 1550 nm in undoped microrings. In erbium- and ytterbium-doped microrings we observe single-mode 1.5-...
