Numerical study of mode-locked semiconductor optical amplifier fiber ring laser
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on self-reproduction theory, harmonic and rational harmonic mode-locked semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) fiber ring lasers have been numerically investigated, respectively. Harmonic mode locking makes a target of obtaining ultra-short pulse. While in rational harmonic mode locking, it is urgently needed to solve that pulse amplitude becomes uneven with the increase of the order of rational harmonic. As a result, these two cases result in the different work conditions. After obtaining the optimal work condition, the effects of the system parameters on the characteristics of harmonic mode-locked pulse and the quality of pulse-amplitude equalization in rational harmonic mode locking have been investigated.
