A comparative study of the performance of narrow linewidth erbium-doped fiber laser by incorporating different selective elements

Tunable laser performance sources with requirements of higher optical power and narrower linewidth become widely demands due to massive usage of network capacity driven by new applications and services associated with web-scale networking. High optical power and narrow linewidth are seeking to trans...
