“…Moreover, the output stability and SLM performance in the proposed EDF ring laser is also discussed. Compared with previous related studies [10][11][12][13][14][15], the proposed EDF ring laser can simplify the laser architecture and reduce the cost for SLM output. In addition, it is easy to use optimal cavity loss in the proposed EDF laser scheme.…”

“…However, the mode-hopping and homogenous broadening characteristics of EDFs could cause unstable wavelength output and the multi-longitudinal-mode (MLM) in EDF ring laser structures [8,9]. Consequently, in order to effect stable single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) output for EDF ring lasers, several advanced technologies have been demonstrated experimentally, such as using the compoundring filtering method [10], utilizing narrow-band optical filters [11], employing unpumped EDF saturated absorber filters [12,13], and applying the optical injection method [14,15]. Furthermore, in order to lase and tune the different wavelength outputs in EDF laser systems, optical tunable bandpass filters (OTBFs), fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filters (FFP-TFs), and the temperature-controlled mode method are generally utilized in fiber ring cavities [16][17][18][19].…”

A stable and selectable erbium-doped fiber (EDF) ring laser configuration with single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) output is proposed and demonstrated in this paper. In the proposed laser scheme, a proper cavity loss is utilized for significant suppression of the side mode. In the experiment, the different coupling ratios required to produce various cavity losses in the proposed fiber laser are analyzed. Here, to reach the wavelength selection, several fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) and an optical tunable bandpass filter (OTBF) in the C-band range are employed for demonstration. In addition, the output performance with respect to stability and SLM in the proposed EDF ring laser are also investigated simultaneously.

“…Unfortunately, the output wavelength and power of the EDF ring laser would be unstable due to the huge number of densely multilongitudinal modes (MLMs) with mode-hopping characteristics [9]. Hence, to resolve the issue of mode hopping and to accomplish single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) output in an EDF-based laser, several fiber laser stabilization techniques have been demonstrated, such as using a compound-ring structure [10], utilizing an unpumped-EDF saturable absorber-based filter [11], and employing a two-taper Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) filter [12].…”

In this investigation, a stable single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber (EDF) multiring laser by utilizing fiber Bragg grating is proposed and investigated. Here, to accomplish a SLM output, the multiring cavity of the proposed EDF laser is employed for suppressing the densely multilongitudinal mode. Hence, the output powers and wavelengths of the proposed dual-wavelength EDF laser are 7.0 and 6.7 dBm and 1531.72 and 1537.32 nm, respectively. In addition, the maximum output stabilities of the power and wavelength in the proposed laser are also executed and discussed.

“…However, the general EDF ring laser scheme would be unstable due to the massive number of densely multi-longitudinal-mode (MLM) with mode-hopping effects [8]. Hence, to overcome the mode-hopping issue and achieve single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) output in an EDF-based laser, using the multi-ring structure, an unpumped EDF-based saturable absorber filter, and a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI)based filter, has also been studied [9][10][11].…”

In this investigation, we propose and demonstrate a stabilized single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser triple-ring cavity. Here, two fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are used inside the fiber cavity to generate dual-wavelength output. In order to complete the SLM output, the triple-ring configuration is utilized for suppressing the densely multi-longitudinal mode (MLM). The output powers and wavelengths of −8.4 and −8.5 dBm and 1535.76 and 1543.28 nm are obtained in the proposed dual-wavelength EDF laser, respectively. Moreover, the stability performances of output power and wavelength in the proposed EDF laser are also discussed.
