Optical fiber filter comprising a single-coupler fiber ring (orloop) and a double-coupler fiber mirror

A theoretical study of an optical fiber filter comprising a double-coupler fiber loop mirror and a single-coupler fiber ring (or loop) is presented. An active scheme using degenerate two-wave mixing is also proposed. The circulating, transmitted and reflected output fields and intensities, as well as some performance parameters such as the peak transmission, contrast and contrasted transmission, are computed and presented in graphical form. The characteristics and potential applications of this filter are discussed. It is found that the use of degenerate two-wave mixing results in a significant increase in the finesse and a dramatic change in the output characteristics of the filter     

Theoretical analysis of Sagnac loop mirror with an inline high birefringence fiber ring resonator: Application in single-frequency fiber lasers

We newly propose and theoretically analyze a Sagnac loop mirror with an inline ring resonator containing a piece of high birefringence fiber (HBF) and erbium-doped fiber (EDF). With the EDF properly pumped to offset the passive loss in the inline ring resonator, narrowband transmission peaks with large effective free spectral range can be realized by the intrinsic vernier effect between orthogonally polarized lights traveling along the two primary axes in the HBF. In addition, this property is independent of polarization states of the input signal, which makes the proposed Sagnac loop mirror suitable for a narrowband filter applied to single-frequency fiber lasers.     

Analysis of steady-state cascaded stimulated Brillouin scatteringin a fiber Fabry-Perot resonator

We investigate the steady-state properties of cascaded stimulated Brillouin scattering (CSBS) in a fiber Fabry-Perot resonator with reflection mirrors by numerically solving the coupled-power equations under the boundary conditions at the two mirrors. The dependence of CSBS on the input power is calculated for the symmetric and asymmetric fiber resonators. The threshold powers for the first- and second-order Stokes waves are calculated as a function of the mirror reflectance for the symmetric resonator     

Single-frequency fiber laser from linear cavity with loop mirror filter and dual-cascaded FBGs

A single-frequency ytterbium fiber laser was demonstrated by introducing a loop mirror filter, a polarization controller (PC), and dual-cascaded fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) in linear laser cavity. The loop mirror with unpumped ytterbium fiber as a narrow bandwidth filter discriminated and selected laser longitudinal modes efficiently. The spatial hole burning effect was restrained by adjusting PC appropriately. Dual closely cascaded FBGs as the output coupler, acting as an etalon, expanded the operation range of single frequency. Output power up to 18 mW at 1064 nm were obtained under the launched pump power of 107 mW at 976 nm, the optical-optical conversion efficiency was about 16.8%; the slope efficiency was about 20%.     

Tunable self-seeded multi-wavelength Brillouin-erbium fiber laser based on few-mode fiber filter

A tunable self-seeded multi-wavelength Brillouin-erbium fiber laser (BEFL) is proposed and demonstrated based on a few-mode fiber filter (FMFF) with varying temperature. The FMFF configuration is a section of uncoated few-mode fiber (FMF) sandwiched between two up-tapers. As the temperature varies from 25 °C to 125 °C, the transmission spectrum of FMFF moves towards the longer wavelength. The self-excited Brillouin pump is internally achieved by cascaded stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in the single mode fiber (SMF). Then employing the FMFF temperature variation characteristics in the ring cavity fiber laser, the multi-wavelength of the output laser can be tuned, and the tunable range is about 8.0 nm. The generation of up to 15 Brillouin Stokes wavelengths with 16 dB optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) is realized.     

Single-longitudinal-mode multiwavelength fiber ring laser

A single-longitudinal-mode multiwavelength fiber ring laser is proposed and demonstrated. The single-longitudinal-mode operation is realized using a fiber loop mirror with a saturable absorber. The fiber loop mirror acts as a passive self-tracking narrow multiband optical filter. Single-longitudinal-mode multiwavelength lasing is generated by using either a Lyot-Sagnac filter or a fiber grating array.
