Sagnac-interferometer-based multiwavelength SOA fiber laser assisted by an intensity-dependent loss mechanism
We demonstrate a Sagnac-interferometer-based multiwavelength fiber laser with an intensity-dependent loss (IDL) mechanism in the L-band region using a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) as the gain medium. The IDL mechanism flattens and stabilizes the multiwavelength spectrum. We also investigate...
