Low-threshold Brillouin laser at 2 μm based on suspended-core chalcogenide fiber.
We present, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of a 2 μm Brillouin laser based on a thulium-doped fiber pump and a chalcogenide fiber. A short 1.5 m piece of suspended-core chalcogenide As38Se62 fiber is employed as a gain medium, taking advantage of its small effective mode area and high Brillouin gain coefficient. A record-low lasing threshold of 52 mW is achieved, which is...
متن کاملFrequency noise in frequency swept fiber laser.
This Letter presents a measurement of the spectral content of frequency shifted pulses generated by a lightwave synthesized frequency sweeper. We found that each pulse is shifted in frequency with very high accuracy. We also discovered that noise originating from light leaking through the acousto- optical modulators and forward propagating Brillouin scattering appear in the spectrum.
متن کاملFrequency Doubled Er/Brillouin All-Fiber Laser
Introduction Nanosecond pulse laser sources with extended wavelength diversity are of great interest for numerous applications. The use of fiber lasers for second harmonic generation allows combining efficient wavelength conversion with the possibility to keep all-fiber format. Second-order nonlinear optical processes can be implemented in all-fiber configurations by using a periodically poled ...
متن کاملIntensity noise of mode-locked fiber lasers.
Intensity noise of mode-locked fiber lasers is characterized systematically for all major mode-locking regimes over a wide range of parameters. We find that equally low-noise performance can be obtained in all regimes. Losses in the cavity influence noise strongly without a clear trace in the pulse characteristics. Given that high-energy fiber laser oscillators reported to date have utilized la...
متن کاملLaser frequency-noise-limited ultrahigh resolution remote fiber sensing.
When a fiber Fabry-Perot is used in an ultra-sensitive strain detection system via a radio-frequency interrogation scheme, its frequency discrimination properties can be enhanced by reducing the linewidth of its resonance. This increases the signal-to-noise ratio, and thus suppresses the strain equivalent noise floor. We demonstrate this improvement in a long-distance high performance remote se...
