Observation of Raman Gain in Reduced Length of Bismuth Erbium Doped Fiber
Raman amplification of a 49 cm Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) as a nonlinear gainmedium based erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is reported in new and compactdesign in near infrared spectral regions. The bismuth glass host provides theopportunity to be doped heavily with erbium ions to allow a compact optical gain fiberamplifier design by using reduced fiber length and the 1480...
متن کاملAll-Fiber Bismuth Doped Self-Sweeping Laser
Figure 1: Laser wavelength dynamics The effect of self-induced laser line sweeping (or self-sweeping) was discovered in ruby laser in 1962 [1]. It was considered as an undesirable effect due to a small sweeping range. In fiber lasers the effect with broad sweeping range (more than 10 nm) was observed almost 50 years later [2]. The self-sweeping effect is caused by the formation of dynamical pha...
متن کاملUltra-Broadband Optical Transmission using Bi/Er Codoped Glass Fiber: Key Design Issue and a Survey
Future generation optical networks are expected to provide ultra broadband optical communication to continuously growing fiber transmission requirements. In this context, Bismuth and Erbium (Bi/Er) codoped glass fibers symbolize an important aspect as it has offered a promising active laser medium for ultra-bandwidth communication. Many studies have been demonstrated that Bi/Er codoped glass op...
متن کاملWidely tunable erbium-doped fiber laser based on multimode interference effect.
A widely tunable erbium-doped all-fiber laser has been demonstrated. The tunable mechanism is based on a novel tunable filter using multimode interference effects (MMI). The tunable MMI filter was applied to fabricate a tunable erbium-doped fiber laser via a standard ring cavity. A tuning range of 60 nm was obtained, ranging from 1549 nm to 1609 nm, with a signal to noise ratio of 40 dB. The tu...
متن کاملConcentration-induced nonuniform power in tunable erbium-doped fiber lasers.
We report, for the first time to our knowledge, the presence of concentration-induced nonuniform power in tunable erbium-doped fiber lasers. A theoretical model is proposed with pair-induced quenching taken into account. We obtain good agreement between numerical and experimental results of a high-concentration erbium-doped fiber ring laser with a large tuning range of over 100 nm. These findin...
