Investigation of Q-Switching Characteristics in Single- and Double-Spacing Multi-Wavelength Brillouin Erbium Fiber Laser

A multi-wavelength Brillouin erbium fiber laser (BEFL) with a Q-switching characteristic is demonstrated using a piece of non-zero dispersion shifted fiber (NZ-DSF) as a Brillouin gain medium (BGM) in conjunction with relaxation oscillation technique. The performance of the multi-wavelength short pu...
