Switchable single-double frequency multi-wavelength Brillouin Raman fiber laser based on micro-air cavity misalignment

This study experimentally demonstrates a switchable single-double frequency spacing multi-wavelength Bril�louin Raman fiber laser (MW-BRFL). The switching functionality was assisted by a micro air cavity (MAC) that was constructed by lateral misalignment of two cleaved fiber facets. Experimental r...

description This study experimentally demonstrates a switchable single-double frequency spacing multi-wavelength Bril�louin Raman fiber laser (MW-BRFL).

Experimental results indicated that the frequency spacing of the generated channels could be switched via adjusting the MAC lateral misalignment. The laser performance was evaluated by fixing the peak power flatness to 1.5 dB. For Raman pump power of 800 mW, as many as 503 channels (39.72 nm bandwidth) with single frequency spacing of 0.079 nm were obtained when the lateral misalignment was set at 0 µm.
