Abstract: | Multi-wavelength fiber laser using semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and Sagnac loop mirror (SLM) incorporating a newly
designed high-birefringence photonic crystal fiber (HB-PCF) is experimentally demonstrated. The modal birefringence of the
fabricated HB-PCF is estimated to be 1.1 × 10−3. Mainly, by adjusting a polarization controller in the fiber ring laser, the proposed fiber laser can operate at six lasing
wavelengths with 2.7 nm intervals, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of around 30 dB. The output power stability is 0.8 dB.
In addition, we obtained near-perfect temperature independence in our multi-wavelength fiber laser system. The temperature
dependence of the SLM is around 3 pm/°C. |
