摘要
研究了一种新型、全光纤、宽带可调谐环形腔掺铒光纤激光器。该激光器利用由单模多模单模光纤组成的滤波器实现波长可调谐及激光器的全光纤结构。该滤波器将多模光纤缠绕在偏振控制器上,两端分别与一段单模光纤相连,通过调整偏振控制器的状态,实现了中心波长1542~1560 nm的不同激光输出。单波长连续可调谐激光器的波长可调范围为18 nm,边模抑制比大于40 dB,3 dB线宽为0.096 nm;进一步调整偏振控制器的状态和抽运功率,实验同时得到了连续可调谐的双波长、三波长等多波长激光输出。对于可调谐的多波长激光器,通过调整偏振控制器的状态,可实现波长间隔及输出中心波长两者可调。
Abstract
A new-style, all-fiber, broad-band tunable erbium-doped fiber ring laser is proposed. The wavelength continuous tuning is realized by using a single-mode/multimode/single-mode fiber as a filter, in which the multimode fiber is wrapped around a polarization controller, and is spliced to a single-mode fiber at each ends. By carefully adjusting the polarization controllers in the cavity, the output central wavelength of tunable single-wavelength laser is tunable from 1542 to 1560 nm over a range of 18 nm, with a signal-to-noise ratio of 40 dB and the 3-dB linewidth of 0.096 nm. Furthermore, by appropriately rotating the polarization controllers and changing the pump power, wavelength continuously tunable dual- and triple-wavelength laser output is also experimentally demonstrated, and the wavelength selection and switching can be achieved by adjusting the polarization controllers in the cavity.
