“…Filters are indispensable elements for a lot of optical systems, especially in fiber laser systems. All-fiber comb filters, such as Fabry-Perot interferometers [1,2], Mach-Zehnder interferometers [3][4][5], Sagnac interferometers (SIs) [6][7][8] and special fiber Bragg gratings [9,10], are generally used as wavelength selectors of lasers to provide a multi-wavelength operation. Recently, multi-wavelength erbium-doped fiber (EDF) lasers have attracted continuous attention because of their potential applications in microwave photonic generation, lidar-radar systems, optical sensing and optical communications [11][12][13][14].…”

A kind of stable, switchable and tunable erbium-doped fiber ring laser based on a Sagnac interferometer (SI) is presented and experimentally demonstrated. The SI is composed of a section of an elliptical-core spun fiber sandwiched between two polarization controllers (PCs) in a Sagnac loop. The proposed compound comb filter, which consists of an SI cascaded with a phase shifted fiber Bragg grating, is developed to suppress the mode competition in the laser oscillation. By adjusting the PCs, a stable and tunable single-wavelength lasing output can be achieved. The optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) is better than 40 dB, and the 3 dB linewidth is less than 15 pm. Furthermore, stable dual-wavelength lasing outputs with different wavelength intervals of 0.132 nm, 0.336 nm and 0.418 nm can also be obtained by carefully adjusting the PCs. The power difference between the two lasing peaks is less than 2 dB, and the OSNR is about 50 dB.

“…Nowadays,multi-wavelength fiber-optic lasers are essential for many different applications of fiber communication systems: in optical testing, fiber sensors, radio-frequency photonics [1][2][3][4], etc. Moreover, several fiber laser resonators for multiwavelength lasing use have been proposed and studied: the Fox-Smith cavity, linear cavity, dual Sagnac loop, ring cavity, compound-ring cavity [5][6][7][8][9], etc. Furthermore, there have been studies of methods involving the use of several different gain media in fiber cavities, such as utilizing erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA), semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA), reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers (RSOA), stimulated Raman scattering, stimulated Brillouin scattering, and reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers (RSOA), and of combinations of these methods [10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

In this work, we propose and demonstrate a multi-wavelength laser source produced by utilizing a C-band reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) with a dual-ring fiber cavity. Here, the laser cavity consists of an RSOA, a 1 × 2 optical coupler, a 2 × 2 optical coupler and a polarization controller. As a result, thirteen to eighteen wavelengths around the L band could be generated simultaneously when the bias current of the C-band RSOA was driven at 30-70 mA. In addition, the output stabilities of the power and wavelength are also discussed.

Multiwavelength narrow linewidth erbium-doped fiber laser based on FP-LDs

In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a technique to realize multiwavelength operation in erbium-doped fiber lasers (EDFLs) by inserting two Fabry Pérot laser diodes (FP-LDs) in the laser cavity respectively in cascaded and parallel way. The FP-LDs not only act as wavelength selection elements, but also offer optical gain or loss for the operation wavelengths in the laser cavity. The gains or losses for the oscillation wavelengths obtained from FP-LDs differ with adjustment of the driving current of the FP-LDs. Thus, the utilization of the FP-LDs in the laser cavity can introduce wavelength dependent gain or loss which can effectively suppress the competition caused by the homogeneous gain broadening of the erbium-doped fiber (EDF). As a result, 16-wavelength and 20-wavelength operation with a wavelength-spacing of 1.25 nm has been achieved respectively in the cascaded and parallel FP-LDs based EDFL schemes. The measured power fluctuation of each wavelength is smaller than 0.4dB for both EDFLs. Furthermore, the injection locking of the FP-LDs ensures a narrow linewidth of the EDFL output and the linewidth is estimated to be narrower than 100 MHz for the cascaded scheme based EDFL.
