Spherical silica optical microresonators were doped with erbium ions by ion implantation at energies of 925 keV and 2.05 MeV using a rotating stage. After thermal annealing at 800 C, light was coupled into the microsphere using a tapered optical fiber. An optical quality factor as high as 1.9 · 10 was observed at k = 1450 nm, corresponding to a modal loss of only 0.01 dB/cm. When pumped at 1450...

We perform a comprehensive analysis of the spectral statistics of the molecular resonances in (166)Er and (168)Er observed in recent ultracold collision experiments [Frisch et al., Nature (London) 507, 475 (2014)] with the aim of determining the chaoticity of this system. We calculate different independent statistical properties to check their degree of agreement with random matrix theory (RMT)...

A cost effective method of generating multi-wavelength based on the cascaded four wave mixing effect is experimentally demonstrated. The proposed scheme is free from external tunable laser sources and pump modulators, resulting from the use of a broadened linewidth tunable dual wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser as intracavity pump. In this configuration, the number of four wave mixing cascade...

Abstract: Erbium-doped fiber laser systems exhibit a large variety of complex dynamical behaviors, bifurcations and attractors. In this paper, the chaotic behavior which can be achieved under certain conditions in a laser system with erbium-doped fiber, is discussed. The chaos in this system occurs through several standard scenarios. In this paper, the simulation sequence of quasiperiodic, inte...

A short wavelength band Brillouin Erbium Fiber Laser (S-band BEFL) with enhanced characteristics using an additional erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) in the sub-loop of the BEFL system. Compared with the conventional BEFL without the additional EDFA, the enhanced BEFL has improved the number of channels as well as the flatness of the Brillouin Stoke’s peak power. By incorporating a double-pa...

On-chip, high-power, erbium-doped distributed feedback lasers are demonstrated in a CMOS-compatible fabrication flow. The laser cavities consist of silicon nitride waveguide and grating features, defined by wafer-scale immersion lithography and an erbium-doped aluminum oxide layer deposited as the final step in the fabrication process. The large mode size lasers demonstrate single-mode continuo...
