چکیده
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 the wavelength range of 1050-1055 nm of narrowband emission up to 2.3 W is demonstrated.

We demonstrate a wavelength-tunable, passively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser based on graphene and chirped fiber Bragg grating. The saturable absorber used to enable passive mode-locking in the fiber laser is a section of microfiber covered by graphene film, which allows light-graphene interaction via the evanescent field of the microfiber. The wavelength of the laser can be continuously...

Reflective uniform volume Bragg gratings (VBGs) in photo-thermo-refractive (PTR) glass are used as narrow-band output couplers in high-power lasers with different gain media [1]. VBGs with longitudinally chirped grating period are used for stretching and compression of ultrashort laser pulses in well established chirped pulse amplification schemes [2]. Here we discuss reflective VBGs with chirp...

متن کاملStrain-imposed External Cavity Tunable Lasers Operating for NIR Wavelength
For demonstrating widely tunable external cavity lasers operating for near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, a flexible polymer waveguide with an imbedded Bragg grating is incorporated. Due to the superior flexibility of the polymer material, the reflection wavelength of the Bragg grating is widely tunable by imposing tensile and compressive strains on the flexible Bragg grating. A third-order Bragg g...
