Stable single-longitudinal-mode fiber laser using PM FBG F-P etalon and PM fiber saturable absorber

we present a stable and high efficiency single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) fiber ring laser by using polarization-maintaining fiber Bragg grating Fabry-Perot (PM FBG F-P) etalon combining PM fiber saturable absorber. The PM FBG F-P etalon, which is directly fabricated in hydrogen-loaded PM fiber, is used as reflector and mode-selecting component to reduce the longitudinal-mode density greatly. Meanwhile, a segment un-pumped PM Er³⁺-doped fiber (EDF) serves as saturable absorber to suppress mode hopping and ensure the stable SLM operation. Stable SLM laser output at 1550.4 nm with linewidth of 2.0 kHz is observed. Laser output power is 43.7 mW for a pump power of 148 mW, optical-optical efficiency is 29.5% and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is larger than 55 dB.

Virtual Gires-Tournois etalons realized with phase-modulated wideband chirped fiber gratings

We propose and demonstrate novel virtual Gires-Tournois (GT) etalons based on fiber gratings. By introducing an additional phase modulation in wideband linearly chirped fiber Bragg gratings, we have successfully generated GT resonance with only one grating. This technique can simplify the fabrication procedure while retaining the normal advantages of distributed etalons, including their full compatibility with optical fiber, low insertion loss, and low cost. Such etalons can be used as dispersion compensation devices in optical transmission systems.

Discretely tunable and multiwavelength erbium doped fibre lasers with Fabry-Perot etalon

Modern WDM telecommunication systems require stable and calibrated laser sources. In this paper, we present examples of such lasers based on erbium doped fibres, i.e., discretely tunable and multiwavelength ring lasers. For the first case, tuning is possible due to a tunable Bragg grating overlapping spectrally the third telecommunication window (1550 nm). When a Fabry-Perot etalon is inserted into the cavity, discrete tunable operation with appropriate spacing between operating wavelengths is possible. Different free spectral ranges (FSR) of applied etalons ensured operation at a wavelength spacing 0.4 nm, 0.8 nm or 1.6 nm, respectively. When an acoustooptical Bragg frequency shifter was inserted together with the Fabry-Perot etalon, the stable simultaneous multiwavelength operation covering the erbium doped gain range was achieved.

In-line fiber-optic etalon formed by hollow-core photonic crystal fiber

A novel fiber-optic in-line etalon formed by splicing a section of hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HCPCF) in between two single-mode fibers is proposed and demonstrated, for the first time to our knowledge. Such a HCPCF-based etalon acts as an excellent optical waveguide to form a Fabry-Perot interferometer and hence allows the cavity length to be as long as several centimeters with good visibility as the transmission loss of the HCPCF is much smaller than that of a hollow core fiber; this offers great potential to generate a practical dense fiber-optic sensor network with spatial frequency division-multiplexing. This novel etalon is demonstrated for strain measurement, and the experimental results show that a good visibility of 0.3 and a strain accuracy of better than +/- 5 microepsilon are achieved.

Whispering-gallery-bottle microcavities: the three-dimensional etalon

In a tapered optical fiber there exist localized light structures that, in analogy to the magnetic bottles used in plasma fusion, can be called whispering-gallery bottles (WGBs). These essentially three-dimensional structures are formed by the spiral rays that experience total internal reflection at the fiber surface and that also bounce along the fiber axis in response to reflection from the regions of tapering. It is shown that the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin quantization rules for the strongly prolate WGBs can be inversed exactly, thus determining the cavity shape from its spectrum. The approximation considered allows one to find the shape of the etalon bottle, which, similar to the one-dimensional Fabry-Perot etalon, contains an unlimited number of equally spaced wave-number eigenvalues. The problem of determining such a non-one-dimensional cavity is not trivial, because such a cavity does not exist among the uniformly filled cavities such as rectangular boxes, cylinders, and spheroids that allow separation of variables. The etalon cavity corresponds to the fiber radius variation p(z) = rho0/cos(deltakz)/, where deltak is the wave-number spacing. The latter result is in excellent agreement with ray-dynamics numerical modeling.

We propose and demonstrate a novel optically tunable dynamic dispersion-compensation device with coupled-cavity etalon structure. Experimentally, it was achieved with an all-fiber coupled-cavity etalon made in an Er/Yb codoped fiber pumped by a 980-nm laser diode. The dispersion was tuned from -300 to +400 ps/nm in the experiment. The potential advantages of such optically tunable dispersion compensators include fast response time and remotely controllable operation.     

Band-rejection filter based on a Bragg fiber with a defect layer

<正>A novel band-rejection filter based on a Bragg fiber with a defect layer is proposed.A defect layer is introduced in the periodic high/low index layers in the cladding of the Bragg fiber,which results in large confinement loss for some resonant wavelengths inside the band gap range of the Bragg fiber.A segment of the Bragg fiber with a defect layer can be used as a band-rejection filter,whose characteristics are mainly determined by the structure of the Bragg fiber.The simulation results show that the bandwidth of such a band-rejection filter is dependent on the number of the periodic high/low index layers in both sides of the defect layer in the cladding of the Bragg fiber.

Dispersion compensation using mismatched multicavity etalon all-pass filter

In this paper, we propose a novel mismatched multicavity etalon (MME) all-pass filter for fixed-value dispersion compensation and dispersion slope compensation. It is a multicavity Gires-Tournois (GT) etalon filter with unequal cavity lengths between adjacent cavities. A theoretical study is presented. Analytical expressions for the group delay and chromatic dispersion are derived to allow device designs to be made. The simulation results show that nearly linear group delay or quasi-flat chromatic dispersion response can be obtained by suitably choosing the reflectances of the reflectors and the cavity mismatch length. The chromatic dispersions and the bandwidth of the quasi-flat-dispersion band can be tailored by changing the reflectances of the reflectors and the mismatched cavity length. The dispersion slope compensation can be obtained by slightly modulating the reflectances of the reflectors. Increasing the number of cavities can enhance the performance and the design flexibility of the dispersion compensator.
