“…Launching sufficient BP power tuned close to these modes would suppress the selflasing effect, and the process of generating the cascaded Brillouin Stokes lines (output channels) would take place. Generation of around 20 Stokes lines BEFLs operating in the S-, C-, and L-bands have been demonstrated previously within ring and linear cavity Fabry-Perot resonator designs [6][7][8][9][10]. Higher generation of output channels was reported with the usage of an erbium-ytterbium doped fiber instead of an erbium doped fiber [11].…”

Abstract:A low threshold and efficient multi-wavelength Brillouin-erbium fiber laser with a pre-amplified Brillouin pump within a Fabry-Perot cavity is presented. With the utilization of a fiber Bragg grating filter as one of the fiber loop mirrors, up to 25 stable Brillouin Stokes lines could be generated with channel spacing of 0.088 nm. The architecture of the design consumes only 3 dBm of the Brillouin pump power and 90 mW of the 980 nm laser diode to produce the 25 maximum output channels. The signal to noise ratio of each channel was also observed to be not less than 20 dB.

“…These lasers have been developed with various mechanisms such as erbium doped fiber lasers (EDFLs) [1][2][3], amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) slicing [4] and Brillouin/Erbium fiber lasers (BEFLs) [5][6][7]. Recently, we reported a multi-wavelength laser, which uses stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a single mode fiber (SMF) as a non-linear gain medium in a ring configuration [8,9].…”

A linear cavity Brillouin fiber laser (BFL) is proposed and demonstrated for multi-wavelength operation. The BFL uses a single mode fiber (SMF) as a non-linear gain medium and an optical circulator to generate a linear cavity resonator. Two couplers are used to inject the Brillouin Pump (BP) and tap the BFL output respectively. The effect of the coupler ratio on the BFL performance is studied by keeping constant the ratio of the first coupler and varying the ratio of the second coupler. 11 simultaneous lines with a line spacing of 0.8 nm are obtained at a BP of 11.7 dBm and a coupler ratio of 95:5. The laser output is stable at room temperature with 5 lines obtained at above -30 dBm, and has the largest signal to noise ratio observed at the remaining lines. The proposed BFL has the advantage of being able to operate at any wavelength and is only dependent on the available BP wavelength. Wavelength, nmPower, dBm

“…There have been many reports of Brillouin based fiber lasers in the C band [14][15][16][17] and also in the L band region [18][19][20]. However, there are only limited reports in the S band region [21][22][23][24][25][26] which is of a great challenge to generate a stable output with a rea sonable power level.…”

A hybrid Depressed Cladding Erbium Doped Fiber (DC EDF) together with a broadband Semi conductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) to enhance the generation of Stokes and anti Stokes in a 7.7 km long Dis persion Compensating Fiber (DCF) is proposed and demonstrated. The performance of the proposed system is compared against that of a conventional system with only the DC EDF as the gain medium, and the incor poration of the SOA can be seen to enhance the generation of Brillouin Stokes significantly. The proposed system is able to generate an output comb with a flat top and more than 29 Stokes and 13 anti Stokes lines, an increase of 14 and 8 lines respectively over the conventional system and covering the entire S band region. The output comb generated is highly stable over time.
