Abstract:
A new stable dual-wavelength fiber-ring laser based on erbium-doped fiber amplification is reported. The laser is based on
ring resonators and employs fiber Bragg gratings to select the operation wavelengths. The topology of the laser has a significant
influence in its performance: allowing an independent control of the losses for both lasing wavelengths and achieving a low
noise configuration. As a result, it is experimentally demonstrated that both emission lines work in single-longitudinal-mode
operation and the topology offers a better stability and higher optical signal-to-noise ratios than similar configurations.
