“…Figure 5(b) shows analogous measurements of side glow in DFB-laser described in [18], also at the pump and lasing wavelengths. The length of FBG was 4 cm, phase shift was equal to π and was located at 2.1 cm from the left end of the grating, modulation amplitude of the refractive index was ∆ ≈ − n 10 4 which is close to the average value of the RDFB laser (as we could see below).…”

Single-frequency Yb-doped fiber laser with distributed feedback based on a random FBG

et al. 2016

Single-frequency operation of a 1.03 μm fiber laser with random distributed feedback (RDFB) is demonstrated. The laser cavity is based on a 4 cm long fiber Bragg grating (FBG) consisting of 10 homogeneous subgratings with random phase and amplitude of refractive index modulation inscribed in a polarization maintaining (PM) Yb-doped fiber. Such RDFB laser generates single longitudinal mode with output power up to 25 mW, which is 3.5 times higher than that for a DFB laser based on regular π-shifted FBG of the same length in the same fiber. The single-frequency linewidth is measured to be <100 kHz in both cases. The observed difference of the DFB and RDFB lasers is confirmed by numerical simulation showing different longitudinal distribution of intra-cavity radiation in these cases, analogous to those in the experiment.

“…Stable single frequency, single polarized fiber laser sources are required in the applications of coherent communication, lidar, high precision sensing, and gravitational waves detection [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], among others, because of their superior narrow linewidth, low noise, and high power. In the past two decades, The linear cavity with distribute Bragg reflective (DBR) structure made of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) was used to obtain stable single frequency output in the field of fiber laser [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

Abstract-The polarization properties of a distribute Bragg reflective (DBR) all fiber laser configured with a common single mode high reflectivity fiber Bragg grating (SM FBG) and a polarization maintaining fiber Bragg grating (PM FBG) are analyzed theoretically and investigated experimentally. Matching the reflective peak of SM FBG with one of the PM FBG reflective peaks in an ideal active fiber (without birefringence) would yield a linear polarization light. However, the polarization properties of a fiber laser become very com plex when a birefringence is induced into the active fiber. Different polarization properties (linear polariza tion, elliptical polarization, or circular polarization) of the fiber laser appear with the variation of the bire fringence. Two perpendicular axes in the active fiber induced by the birefringence effect must be matched with that of PMFBG to realize the linear polarization output.

Linearly polarized ytterbium-doped fiber laser in a pedestal design with aluminosilicate inner cladding

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Ytterbium-doped polarization-maintaining fiber in a pedestal geometry is demonstrated using MCVD and a novel in-situ doping technique. The aluminosilicate pedestal layers minimize the thermal expansion mismatch against the silica outer cladding and permits complete freedom of location for the stress-applying parts in the fiber. A birefringence of 2.4×10 −4 is experimentally determined. The fiber delivers linearly polarized laser exhibiting 79% slope efficiency with a polarization extinction ratio of 12 dB.Output power, W
