چکیده
A thermo-optically tunable multimode interference fiber laser is demonstrated. The laser emission can be easily tuned trough the C-band by simply changing the temperature around the multimode fiber liquid cladding of the filter. ©2011 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.2410) Fibers, Erbium; (060.2310) Fiber Optics; (140.3600) Lasers Tunable; (060.4510) Optical communications

La-codoped Bismuth-based Erbium-doped Fiber Ring laser with 80-nm Tuning Range
A wideband tunable fiber ring lasers using 253.3-cm long La-codoped bismuth-based erbium doped fiber and a narrowband tunable MEMS filter are reported. The fiber ring laser is capable of tuning over 80 nm continuously from 1545 to 1625 nm with an average output power of -3 dBm and extinction ratio of 60 dB.

A stable dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber (EDF) compound ring laser using a double-ring filter (DRF) is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. By using a ring filter incorporated within the ring cavity, the fiber laser can lase two wavelengths simultaneously. The dual-wavelength output exhibits a good performance having the optical side-mode suppression ratios (SMSRs) of 45.3 and 46.3 dB a...

متن کاملAll fiber, low threshold, widely tunable single-frequency, erbium-doped fiber ring laser with a tandem fiber Fabry--Perot filter
An all fiber, widely tunable, single-frequency, erbium-doped fiber ring laser was constructed with a threshold pump power as low as 10 mW. Tuning over more than 30 nm was obtained by applying 0 to 17 dc V to an intracavity fiber Fabry-Perot filter. Threshold pump power versus wavelength data showed low variation over the tuning range. Mode hopping suppression with a tandem fiber Fabry-Perot fil...
متن کاملTowards the short - wavelength limit lasing at 1450 nm over 4 I 13 / 2 → 4 I 15 / 2 transition in silica - based erbium - doped fiber Nan
The transition rate of the stimulated emission at the higher energy levels of the excited states in a silica-based erbium-doped fiber can be enhanced by introducing fundamental-mode cutoff filtering mechanism. The electrons excited by optical pumping can more occupy the higher energy levels of the excited states when the transition rate for the lower energy levels (longer wavelengths) of the ex...
