Dual-wavelength erbium fiber laser in a simple ring cavity

By controlling the cavity loss of the modes using a variable optical attenuator, specific intensities of distributed modes can be fed back into the erbiumdoped fiber to produce signals without mode competition, thus resulting in stable lasing as a means to overcome mode competition in a homogenous...

Description
Summary:By controlling the cavity loss of the modes using a variable optical attenuator, specific intensities of distributed modes can be fed back into the erbiumdoped fiber to produce signals without mode competition, thus resulting in stable lasing as a means to overcome mode competition in a homogenous gain medium. Two lasing signals were obtained with peak powers of approximately 3.475 dBm and 4.386 dBm for wavelengths of 1,540 nm and 1,548 nm, respectively, with a side mode suppression ratio of more than 43 d
