Power-equalized parallel-type pump-shared fiber lasers based on parameter-adjustment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ž . Ž . A parallel-type, pump-shared PTPS scheme linear-cavity laser array LCLA is proposed and numerically studied. Power-equalization of multiwavelength fiber lasers can be achieved by varying the pumping power ratio, length of the erbium-doped fiber or reflectivity of grating reflector for the individual channels. Before and after power-equalization, the maximum power variation among seven equal-spaced channels, ranging from 1530 to 1560 nm, is 5.8 and 0.2 dB, respectively. q 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

Layout of NALM fiber laser with adjustable peak power of generated pulses.
The Letter proposes a new layout of a passively mode-locked fiber laser based on a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror (NALM) with two stretches of active fiber and two independently controlled pump modules. In contrast with conventional NALM configurations using a single piece of active fiber that yields virtually constant peak power, the proposed novel laser features larger than a factor of 2 ad...

متن کاملLaminar-Turbulent Transition in Raman Fiber Lasers: A First Passage Statistics Based Analysis
Loss of coherence with increasing excitation amplitudes and spatial size modulation is a fundamental problem in designing Raman fiber lasers. While it is known that ramping up laser pump power increases the amplitude of stochastic excitations, such higher energy inputs can also lead to a transition from a linearly stable coherent laminar regime to a non-desirable disordered turbulent state. Thi...
متن کاملReliable optical pump architecture for highly coherent lasers used in space metrology applications
Laser-based metrology has been identified as an enabling technology in the deployment of large, space-borne observatories, where nanometer-level knowledge of fiducial displacement drives overall system performance. In particular, Nd:YAG NPRO (non-planar ring oscillator) based lasers have received considerable attention in this application because of their inherent high coherence at wavelengths ...
متن کاملModeling and parallel simulation of high power semiconductor lasers Para 2008: Applications of Parallel Computations on Industry Engineering
Compact semiconductor lasers emitting single-frequency, diffraction limited beams at a continuous-wave (CW) optical power of several Watts are required for many applications including frequency conversion, free-space communications, and pumping of fibre lasers and fibre amplifiers. We discuss a mathematical model for the dynamics of such lasers. In order to simulate the long time dynamical beha...
