Abstract:We present a new channel wavelength selectable single/ dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber ring laser. The novelty of this device is the use of a specially designed fiber cascaded Mach-Zender interferometer (MZI) called a channel wavelength generator (CWG) that has a triangular-shaped transfer function. The lasing wavelength only occurs in the vicinity of the peak wavelengths of the transfer function of the MZI when tuning the filter, and this makes it channel wavelength selectable. With a compound cavity struc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
