Abstract. In this paper, the development of loop mirror multi-wavelength Brillouin fiber laser utilizing semiconductor optical amplifier and fiber Bragg grating is successfully demonstrated. A multi-wavelength BFL structure employs a single mode fiber that acts as the gain medium, while the fiber Bragg grating act to reflect the signals and semiconductor optical amplifier is used to amplify the signal are employed to produce multiple channels. The implementation of difference parameter for semiconductor optical amplifier driven current, Brillouin pump power, Brillouin pump wavelength and length of single mode fiber, plays an important role in producing the multiple channels. The highest number of channels which is 15 achieved once 9 km of SMF length, semiconductor optical amplifier current at 800mA and low Brillouin pump power at -12 dBm are utilized in the laser structure. Furthermore, the implementation of semiconductor optical amplifier and reflectivity of fiber Bragg grating in Brillouin fiber laser structure gives a better performance in producing the multiple channels.

“…EDFRLs pumped at 980 or 1480nm wavelengths because of absence of excited state absorption in the wavelengths. The selecting two pump wavelengths are always in terms of conditions, because each one has its advantages [4]. The characteristics of these lasers include: very efficient operation, producing the stable wavelength, very narrow line width, high output power and tuning over a range up to 40nm [5].…”

Eight figure fiber Laser design employed for generation of the multi-wavelength laser with so stable narrow line widths. In this research, the setup of multiwavelength fiber laser source is demonstrated as well as eight figure cavity by using a piece of Polarization Maintaining Fiber (PMF) in Sagnac filter that achieved four stable and constant amplitude wavelengths with same spacing at room temperature. Also, we proposed and compared more than 250 narrow line width modes by using the 23 km length of Single Mode Fiber (SMF-28) at C and L communication windows. In this case, the stability of modes due to increasing the length was less in compare to PMF Sagnac.
