Influence of pump power on output characterisics of multiwavelength eribum-doped fiber laser emplo- ying symmetrical nonlinear optical loop mirror

Abstract

The influence of pump power on the output characteristics of multiwavelength erbium-doped fiber laser is investigated, which employs the symmetrical nonlinear optical loop mirorr (NOLM). The results show that the number and positions in the spectra of multiwavelength oscillations are determined by pump power for a fixed setting of NOLM.
