An Analytical Model for Rare Earth Doped Fiber Lasers Consisting of High Reflectivity Mirrors

Authors

Abstract:

The present article is concerned with an analytical solution for some parts of rare earth doped fiber laser equations. The presented model is valid for both four and three-level fiber lasers consisting high reflectivity mirrors. A typical method to obtain initial value in the numerical solutions of fiber laser equations is shooting method, which is based on an iteration process. Whereas this standard method needs to repeat computational loops to correct an initial guess value in order to satisfy the boundary conditions, which is a time consuming task. The model and its analytical solution, presented in this article, and the accuracy of the obtained values reveals that the method significantly reduces the time computation. The proposed method has been used for an erbium doped fiber laser and it shows that when the reflectivity of mirrors is more than 0.6 (60%), the calculated results are in agreement with the results of standard numerical methods and the error is less than 10 percent.

Demonstration of ultra-low NA rare-earth doped step index fiber for applications in high power fiber lasers.

In this paper, we report the mode area scaling of a rare-earth doped step index fiber by using low numerical aperture. Numerical simulations show the possibility of achieving an effective area of ~700 um² (including bend induced effective area reduction) at a bend diameter of 32 cm from a 35 μm core fiber with a numerical aperture of 0.038. An effective single mode operation is ensured followin...

Rare Earth doped Semiconductors for Phosphors and Lasers

The emission properties of rare earth (RE)-doped GaN are of significant current interest for applications in full color displays, white lightingtechnology, and optical communications. We are currently investigating the photoluminescence (PL) properties of RE (Er, Eu, Tm)-dopedGaN thin-films prepared by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy. The most intense visible PL under above-gap exci...
