1550nm-1600nm design and research of Erbium-doped fiber lasers

Abstract

The fiber laser, an innovative laser type, holds immense significance in optical communication, industrial processing, and scientific research owing to its remarkable high power and efficiency combination. The 1550nm light wave, widely utilized in fiber communication, renders the research and production of fiber lasers in this range pivotal for diverse applications. Within the pages of this paper, we delve into the intricate design and meticulous investigation of an erbium-doped fiber laser operating within the 1550nm-1600nm band. Our noteworthy achievement lies in the adept attainment of laser emission at 1575 nm. This success is intricately woven into the reciprocal reflection of pump light within the resonant cavity of the fiber laser and the nuanced electronic transition process of erbium ions. This paper not only unfolds a detailed exploration of the structural nuances but also unveils the design principles, methodology, and results of MATLAB simulations employed in crafting erbium-doped fiber lasers. Exhibiting exemplary performance at the 1550nm wavelength, this laser proves promising in realms such as optical communication and medical applications, signalling a paradigm shift in the possibilities within these domains. The research presented herein introduces avant-garde concepts for designing high-performance fiber lasers, providing a rich foundation for further exploration in related fields. Through this comprehensive discourse, we aim to contribute not only to the advancement of fiber laser technology but also to the expansion of possibilities in optical communication and beyond.
