针对调制光栅Y分支型(MG-Y)激光器在实际应用中波长-电流查找表(LUT)构建效率低、调谐方式复杂、波长调谐时功率漂移量大等问题,对其调谐特性进行了深入研究。利用左、右反射器电流的调谐特性,设计出一种具有普适性的波长测试框架,能够高效且准确地定位激光器的平滑波长调谐路径。同时提出一种自适应功率校准算法,提升了激光器在波长调谐时的功率稳定性。测试结果表明:基于波长测试框架的LUT仅包含3147个反射器电流-波长组合;激光器的波长调谐范围为1528~1568 nm,波长调谐步长为5 pm;边模抑制比(SMSR)大于40 dB;波长准确度优于±2.9 pm;波长重复性优于1.9 pm;波长调谐时功率漂移量小于0.408 mW,稳定度为3.57%;解调出光纤非本征法布里-珀罗干涉型(EFPI)传感器的腔长变化量小于7.58 nm,可以应用于光纤传感等实际场景。

We have successfully generated a 1.3/1.4 µm random fiber laser (RFL) using bismuth (Bi)-doped phosphosilicate fiber. The Bi-doped RFL has shown excellent long-term operational stability with a standard deviation of approximately 0.34% over 1 h at a maximum output power of 549.30 mW, with a slope efficiency of approximately 29.21%. The Bi-doped phosphosilicate fiber offers an emission spectrum ranging from 1.28 to 1.57 µm, indicating that it can be tuned within this band. Here, we demonstrated a wavelength-tuning fiber laser with a wavelength of 1.3/1.4 µm, achieved through the using of a fiber Bragg grating or a tunable filter. Compared to traditional laser sources, the RFL reduces the speckle contrast of images by 11.16%. Due to its high stability, compact size, and high efficiency, this RFL is highly promising for use in biomedical imaging, communication, and sensor applications.

We report a Yb-doped mode-locked fiber laser based on a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror (NALM), which is all-normal-dispersion (ANDi), and allows the output wavelength to be tunable. The laser can generate a stable femtosecond dissipative soliton with a maximum output power of 196 mW. Its repetition rate is 112.4 MHz, and the final pulse duration is 236 fs. By adjusting the angle of the reflective diffraction grating, the mode-locked fiber laser was realized to tune the output with a tuning range of 54 nm from 1011.8 nm to 1065.6 nm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the widest tuning range of an ANDi Yb-doped mode-locked fiber laser based on NALM.

We report a wavelength-tunable multi-point pump scheme of the semiconductor disk lasers (SDLs). By designing an external cavity of SDL with an intra-cavity transmission grating, multiple pump gain regions share the same resonator. The effect of the intra-cavity grating on the output laser power, wavelength, and beam quality was investigated. The emission wavelength could be tuned over a bandwidth of . With multi-point pumping, we achieve the laser output power with almost no loss, and further improvement is limited by the thermal effect. The changes in the beam are due to the mode selectivity by the intra-cavity grating.
