“…However, experimental measurements indicate that a significant birefringence may exist in f iber lasers, probably owing to nonuniformities in the f iber amplifier. 7,8 The measured PMD in those experiments was of the order of 80-100 fs per 1 m of the erbium-doped f iber amplifier. Such large delays can have a significant effect on nonlinear transmission characteristics and can be used for obtaining novel nonlinear f ilters.…”

We analyze the transmissivity of a nonlinear filter that is based on intensity-dependent polarization rotation in a birefringent fiber. It is shown that the transmissivity of the element depends not only on the intensity of the incident light but also on the time behavior of its amplitude. Such an element can be used as a derivator, an element that transmits only variations in the input pulse. The filter can also be used for obtaining lasers that generate a train of intense noiselike pulses with a broadband spectrum and a short coherence length.

“…The combination of a polarizer and the cavity birefringence forms a linear periodic-wavelength filter. In contrast to the cw and the actively mode-locked fiber lasers, 8,9 in order to achieve mode locking and to form a soliton in the laser cavity, the minima of the filter has to be inside the gain bandwidth of the gain medium. A mode-locked pulse is formed in the vicinity of the minima of the birefringent filter.…”

We have experimentally observed continuous-wavelength tuning in a passively mode-locked fiber ring laser. Depending on the polarization setting, two separated tuning ranges are observed. We show that the wavelength tuning is a result of the existence of birefringence in the laser cavity. We have also shown that the same mechanism is responsible for the power asymmetry of sidebands appearing in the soliton spectrum.

A compact and tunable 1060 nm fiber ring laser based on a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) which directly connects an ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier (YDFA) with a 70 cm long ytterbium-doped fiber has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Low noise and narrow linewidth 1060nm fiber ring laser that use ytterbium -doped fiber amplifier and semiconductor optical amplifier as gain medium have over 45 nm wavelength tuning range. The output power can be obtained with the optical side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) larger than 55 dB and output power of > 3dBm in the operating wavelength range from 1035 to 1080 nm have been achieve for the ring laser. Stable and flat output can be maintained more than one hour with negligible power Huctuations and low relative intensity noise.
