“…Multiwavelength fiber lasers (MFL) show promising qualities that can benefit many areas of expertise including optical communication, optical sensing network, gas spectroscopy, and also optical component testing [6,7]. These qualities encompass, but not limited to low production cost, low noise, flexible design, and multi-wavelength source [7,8].…”

We demonstrated the generation of a multiwavelength laser comb through two different ring cavity designs. The first design, a ring laser with Sagnac filter is being modified to produce a second design known as composite ring cavity. The ASE spectrum obtained from the composite ring cavity is sliced into more than 30 laser lines. From this comb, 22 laser lines are flattened under the 3 dB peak power fluctuation and 25 lines are flattened under the 10 dB peak power fluctuation. The 24 laser lines have a bandwidth value of 10.48 nm and for each of them, the average OSNR value is found to be at 24 dB. The OSNR value distribution among the laser lines is nearly uniform. However, the fineness obtained in this scheme is very low as 2.8.

“…Semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) device has been utilized extensively as a potential gain medium in various domains, especially for the dense wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system, WDM passive optical network, optical sensors, and others [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. In the broad field of MWFL, the generation of multiple laser lines can be yielded through different gain media such as rare-earth doped Erbium, Thulium or Ytterbium amplifier and Raman, Brillouin or Rayleigh scattering effects.…”

“…This paper reported on the study of wideband SOA characterization because from most of the previous works, they had employed the wideband SOAs in their experiments. These can be categorized according to their different configurations in wavelength filtering Lyot comb [4,5], Fabry-Perot (FP) [11] and Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) [1], [10].…”

A study about different types of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA)s-linear, nonlinear and in-line SOAs modelling is carried out. The SOA key performance characteristics covered in this paper include optical gain, power, and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise figure. These characteristics definition are included in this work together with the tabulation of each SOA specification parameter operating in the operational conventional (C-) band. The first modelling of SOA wideband travelling wave (TW) component is done through a simple configuration using OptiSystem software. Next, the second modelling method is simulated through numerical steady-state model using MATLAB software. Each graphical result is explained and discussed according to the operational characteristic theories of SOA along with the evaluation for the best performance among the types of SOAs. The contrasted result among them had shown that linear SOA has the most ideal and competitive characteristics, as compared to the nonlinear and in-line SOAs, especially a better choice as gain medium in the multiwavelength fiber laser (MWFL) application.

“…However, only dual-wavelength operation was demonstrated, and there was no experimental strain sensing demonstration. The semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is an ideal alternative because of its inhomogeneous broadening property, which is beneficial to stable multi-wavelength lasing with equalized powers [18], [19]. Such a multi-wavelength FBG-based fiber laser sensor also allows for distributed sensing applications.…”

Multiwavelength Linear-Cavity SOA-Based Laser Array Design for Multiparameter and Long-Haul Sensing

et al. 2015

A multiwavelength linear-cavity laser array for long-distance sensing is designed and experimentally demonstrated. It is a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) integrating a 1 × N optical switch, formed by a 2 × 2 fiber loop mirror and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) as cavity ends. We investigate the laser system output characteristics and evaluate the sensor performance for different sensing distances incorporating the FBGs. The results show that this SOA-based laser sensor array possesses a dynamic sensing distance of up to 35 km at a 350-mA injection current. Stress/strain detection and reliable linear-cavity fiber laser sensing operation were successfully achieved.
