“…There are fifteen Stokes channels and fourteen anti Stokes channels that are generated, which are separated by 0.154 nm spacing to form a smooth triangle shape. This is better as compared to ten stokes channels and three anti stokes double spacing signals in previous work by using 6.7 km SMF [16], also 15 stokes and anti stokes lines with 0.16 nm spacing by using 10 km NZ DSP [19] or 5 stokes signals when they used shot length form PCF [20] or less in [21][22][23][24] by using Bi EDF as amplifica tion gain base on BFL.…”

A double frequency spaced multiwavelength Brillouin-Erbium doped fiber laser (BEDFL) with figure of eight cavity have been successfully developed and tested. Double frequency spacing is achieved by using a piece of 2 km of highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) as a gain medium. Figure of eight configuration removes the odd order Stokes signals via a four port circulator. Fifteen Stokes channels are simultaneously generated with a spacing of 0.154 nm that is around 20 GHz, when the Brillouin pump and 980 nm pump powers are fixed at the optimized values of 6 dBm and 40 mW, respectively. Fourteen anti stoke channels are also obtained, which are generated through four wave mixing (FWM) process in the laser cavity. The output is smooth triangular comb. The BEFL can also be tuned from 1526.5 to 1567.5 nm.

“…Using a near-zero dispersion highly nonlinear PCF, a fiber laser with four types of pulses was obtained [82]. Some authors applied PCFs to the development of Brought to you by | Tulane University Authenticated Download Date | 10/19/14 10:41 PM Brillouin-erbium fiber lasers: using 20 m of polarization maintaining PCF [83], or using 20 m of PCF and 49 cm of bismuth-erbium-doped fiber [84], or even by using 20 m polarization maintaining PCF and 49 cm of bismutherbium-doped fiber [85]. Multiwavelength Brillouinerbium fiber lasers were also demonstrated: using a 70 m solid-core highly nonlinear PCF [86,87] or by using 100 m PCF [88].…”

A review on all-fiber lasers based on photonic crystal fibers is presented. Photonic crystal fibers present improved features beyond what conventional optical fibers can offer. Due to their geometric versatility, photonic crystal fibers can present special properties and abilities which can lead to enhanced lasing structures. A brief description of photonic crystal fibers and fiber laser's properties is presented. All-fiber laser structures developed using photonic crystal fibers are described and divided in two groups, depending on the cavity topology: ring cavity fiber lasers and linear cavity fiber lasers. All-fiber lasers applications in the photonic crystal fiber related sensing field are described.

“…Recently, Brillouin effects in fibers have been explored as means to provide an inexpensive approach of generating a multiwavelength output with a very narrow channel spacing in the region of 10 GHz. 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.
