Abstract
We propose and demonstrate a passive mode-locked fiber laser with a 2-stage Lyot filter as a mechanism to tune the noise-like pulse bandwidth and the central wavelength. The proposed filter consists of a first Lyot filter with tunable bandwidth based on bend-induced linear birefringence with tension concatenated to a second Lyot filter with highly birefringent fiber with constant bandwidth. This configuration allows us to change the 2-stage Lyot filter bandwidth while decreasing the adjacent sidebands favoring a pulsed emission with controlled behavior. The 2-stage Lyot filter bandwidth can be tuned from 10.55 to 5.26 nm and the central wavelength changed from 1530 to 1560 nm. The output pulses have a repetition rate of 1.548 MHz. The experimental filter behavior is supported by numerical simulations based on the Jones matrix formulation.
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.
