Development of 3.6 mW Er- doped C-band super fluorescent fiber source pumped at 980 nm
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 3.6mW single pass backward signal superfluorescent fiber source having a spectral width of 27.417nm was developed at a pump wavelength of 980.5nm and presented the experimental results along with non-flattened ASE spectrum. The fiber source could have direct applications in fiber sensors like fiber gyroscope or, in general, in any optical sensors in which a broad spectral band and high power source are required.

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...

Introduction: Cladding-pumped rare-earth-doped fibers and Raman fiber devices have been two of the most compelling advances in the area of fiber amplifiers and lasers in recent years. Both cladding-pumped fibers and Raman fiber devices are primarily high-power devices. Cladding-pumping enables pumping with multi-mode pump sources that deliver high-power at a low cost. The core of the double-cla...

ontinuous-wave laser operation of bulk Er:Yb:phosphate glass pumped at 980 nm by an InGaAs index-guided diode laser has been achieved for the first time to our knowledge, with 2 mW of output power obtained at 1.54 microm. To optimize pumping conditions and to investigate the effects of pump wavelength, the Er(3+):Yb(3+) glass disk has also been pumped by a Ti:Al(2)O(3) laser at 960 and 980 nm, ...
