Thulium Doped Fibre Laser based on Theta Cavity Lasing Direction Rectification
The development of thulium-doped fibre lasers (TDFL) is motivated by numerous potential applications in spectroscopy, remote sensing, medicine, material processing, and telecommunications. The all-fibre corepumped ring cavity TDFLs exploiting fiberized grating-based filter [1] or Fabry-Pérot etalon [2] as a wavelength selective element were reported. An optical isolator should be inserted into ...
متن کاملComposite Cavity Fiber Laser with Asymmetric Output Intensity and Wavelength
The composite cavity fiber laser (CCFL) is relatively simple in its fabrication, as it is essentially three wavelength matched Bragg gratings in a section of doped fiber. By using internal feedback with unequal sub-cavity lengths, unidirectional CCFLs with significantly asymmetric output power from its two outputs can be achieved. Preliminary results also show that it is possible for the lasing...

متن کاملThulium-doped silica fibers with enhanced 3H4 level lifetime: modelling the devices for 800-820 nm band
Silica-based thulium-doped fiber devices operating around 810 nm would extend the spectral range covered by highpower fiber devices. Using a comprehensive numerical model of the fiber we have shown that efficient lasing at 810 nm can be achieved for specific ranges of the laser cavity parameters in silica-based thulium-doped fibers with enhanced 3 H4 lifetime up to 58 !s as measured in our high...
متن کاملRing cavity tunable fiber laser with external transversely chirped Bragg grating
Application of the Transverse Chirped Bragg Grating (TCBG a reflecting volume Bragg grating with continuously variable resonant wavelength across the aperture) for the narrowband tunable ring-cavity fiber laser is presented. The main advantage of the use of TCBG is that its linear translation allows continuous tuning of emission wavelength within 5-10 nm band. Yb doped fiber laser operating in ...
