چکیده

Pumped by a narrow band Nd(3+)-doped fibre laser, a grating-free three-wavelength Raman fibre laser has been demonstrated. More than 1.3W output power at the third Stokes line of 1230 nm, a bandwidth of 1.8nm and a slope efficiency of ~28% was measured. A four-wavelength Raman fibre laser was also demonstrated using a different resonator that consisted of a 4% fibre end reflector, a dielectric mirror and a single fibre Bragg grating. This method is simple, versatile and cheap compared with conventional methods employing fibre Bragg gratings used to resonate all Stokes wavelengths.

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 ...

Efficient Single Frequency Fibre Lasers Using Novel Photosensitive ErYYb Optical Fibres

Boron and germanium doped highly photosensitive cladding is used in a novel design to achieve photosensitive Er/Yb doped fibres, enabling short strong gratings (length = 1 cm, reflectivity > 99%) to be written without hydrogenation. The high absorption at 980 nm in Er/Yb fibres allows efficient pump absorption over a short device length, ideal for achieving highly efficient single frequency fib...

Rayleigh scatter based order of magnitude increase in distributed temperature and strain sensing by simple UV exposure of optical fibre

We present a technique to improve signal strength, and therefore sensitivity in distributed temperature and strain sensing (DTSS) using Frequency domain Rayleigh scatter. A simple UV exposure of a hydrogen loaded standard SMF-28 fibre core is shown to enhance the Rayleigh back-scattered light dramatically by ten-fold, independent of the presence of a Bragg grating, and is therefore created by t...

Rotationally Variant Grating Writing in Photonic Crystal Fibres

The role of rotational alignment during grating writing is comprehensively examined by the measurement of core luminescence from a Ge-doped 12 ring photonic crystal fibre, computer simulation of transmission and, definitively, by inscription of gratings at three angles– 0°, 30° and the optimum luminescent angle for this fibre, 21.5°. All experimental results were in accordance with each other a...

Raman Spectra of a PMMA Microstructured Optical Fibre and Direct Measurement of Its Gain Coefficient

 A polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microstructured polymer optical fiber (mPOF) is fabricated and characterized. Using the cut-back technique the fiber loss is measured which is higher than the step-index silica fibers. Through a novel experimental scheme, the backward Stokes spectrum of the fabricated mPOF is recorded over a range exceeding 3000 cm‑1 during the cut-back method and compared ...
