Abstract
This paper presents a single longitudinal mode fiber laser with a wide mode-hop-free tuning range. By adopting a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) structure and optimizing the cavity length and packaging stress, a mode-hop-free tuning range of 1.37 nm is achieved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest mode-hop-free tuning range reported for DBR single longitudinal mode fiber lasers. The relative intensity noise (RIN) of the laser was suppressed to near the shot noise limit through a semiconductor optical amplifier, with power fluctuations confined to 0.18 % over 2 h. This low-noise, widely tunable 1053 nm DBR laser demonstrates significant potential for applications in precision spectroscopy and related fields.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
