High power and compact switchable bismuth based multiwavelength fiber laser
A compact switchable multiwavelength fibre laser (SWFL) is proposed and demonstrated using a bismuth based erbium doped fibre amplifier (Bi-EDFA) and a Sagnac loop mirror (SLM) in a ring cavity. The proposed compact SWFL can generate up to 6 switchable wavelengths with an average peak power of 1...

| Summary: | A compact switchable multiwavelength fibre laser
(SWFL) is proposed and demonstrated using a bismuth based
erbium doped fibre amplifier (Bi-EDFA) and a Sagnac loop mirror (SLM) in a ring cavity. The proposed compact SWFL can
generate up to 6 switchable wavelengths with an average peak
power of 11 dBm and also shows good stability over time with a
high side mode signal ratio (SMSR) of 40 dB that negates minor
fluctuations in the laser output. The Bi-EDF based gain medium
gives the SWFL a large usable bandwidth of up to 80 nm, and
it is expected that this will allow the SWFL to be used as a tunable laser source for high power applications to meet increasing
demand. |
