Multiwavelength fiber lasers based on multimode fiber Bragg gratings using offset launch technique
The reflective characteristics of a multimode fiber Bragg grating (MM-FBG) and the changes of reflective spectra with mode excitation conditions in the multi-mode fiber were investigated. Two multiwavelength fiber laser configurations using offset launch technique to MM-FBG with hybrid gain mediums are proposed and demonstrated. Different multiwavelength outputs were obtained by variation of th...
متن کاملTransverse mode selection in laser resonators using volume Bragg gratings
Power scaling of high power laser resonators is limited due to several nonlinear effects. Scaling to larger mode areas can offset these effects at the cost of decreased beam quality, limiting the brightness that can be achieved from the multi-mode system. In order to improve the brightness from such multi-mode systems, we present a method of transverse mode selection utilizing volume Bragg grat...
متن کاملSlow light with flat or offset band edges in few-mode fiber with two gratings.
We consider mode coupling in multimode optical fibers using either two Bragg gratings or a Bragg grating and a long-period grating. We show that the magnitude of the band edge curvature can be controlled leading to a flat, quartic band-edge or to two band edges at distinct, nonequivalent k-values, allowing precise control of slow light propagation.
متن کاملFiber comb filters based on UV-writing Bragg gratings in graded-index multimode fibers.
We report a new kind of comb filters based on fiber Bragg gratings in graded-index multimode fibers. It produces two groups of spectra with a total of 36 reflection peaks that correspond to 18 principal modes and cross coupled modes. The mode indices and wavelength spacings have been investigated theoretically and experimentally. This kind of comb filters may be used to construct multi-waveleng...
متن کاملComposite Cavity Fiber Laser with Asymmetric Output Intensity and Wavelength
The composite cavity fiber laser (CCFL) is relatively simple in its fabrication, as it is essentially three wavelength matched Bragg gratings in a section of doped fiber. By using internal feedback with unequal sub-cavity lengths, unidirectional CCFLs with significantly asymmetric output power from its two outputs can be achieved. Preliminary results also show that it is possible for the lasing...
