“…The use of specialty doped fiber has also led to very elegant designs. A twincore EDF was used by Graydon et al [45] as an inhomogeneous gain medium in a multifrequency ring EDFL. In that fiber, wavelength-dependent periodic coupling between the two cores partially decouples the available gain for each wavelength, since they interact with a different subset of erbium ions.…”

“…These lasers have been developed with various mechanisms such as erbium doped fiber lasers (EDFLs) [1][2][3], amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) slicing [4] and Brillouin/Erbium fiber lasers (BEFLs) [5][6][7]. Recently, we reported a multi-wavelength laser, which uses stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a single mode fiber (SMF) as a non-linear gain medium in a ring configuration [8,9].…”

A linear cavity Brillouin fiber laser (BFL) is proposed and demonstrated for multi-wavelength operation. The BFL uses a single mode fiber (SMF) as a non-linear gain medium and an optical circulator to generate a linear cavity resonator. Two couplers are used to inject the Brillouin Pump (BP) and tap the BFL output respectively. The effect of the coupler ratio on the BFL performance is studied by keeping constant the ratio of the first coupler and varying the ratio of the second coupler. 11 simultaneous lines with a line spacing of 0.8 nm are obtained at a BP of 11.7 dBm and a coupler ratio of 95:5. The laser output is stable at room temperature with 5 lines obtained at above -30 dBm, and has the largest signal to noise ratio observed at the remaining lines. The proposed BFL has the advantage of being able to operate at any wavelength and is only dependent on the available BP wavelength. Wavelength, nmPower, dBm

“…These techniques are based on several short-period fiber Bragg gratings (FBG's) [2], a semiconductor optical amplifier array [3], splicing five distributed feedback lasers together and pumping with a 1480-nm semiconductor laser [4] and using two comb filters in the ring-cavity [5]. With the feature of wavelength insensitivity to temperature at least an order of magnitude better than that of semiconductor lasers, erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) is a promising candidate for multichannel lightwave communications [6].…”

Abstract-By using fiber gratings as pump reflectors with various reflectivities or pieces of gain fibers with various lengths externally to linear cavity as self-equalizers, a parallel-type, pumpshared linear cavity laser array (LCLA) is proposed and numerically studied. The average output power is increased and the maximum power variation among channels is reduced from 7.2 to less than 0.1 dB when the reflectivity of each pump reflector or the length of each gain fiber is adjusted appropriately.Index Terms-Fiber Bragg grating, linear cavity laser arrays, master oscillator power amplifier, power equalization, pump reflector, wavelength-division multiplexing.
