摘要

我们提出了一种可在 C + L 波段全范围内调谐的亚千赫线宽单频光纤激光器，并进行了实验演示。通过双向泵浦的宽带增益光纤与宽可调谐滤波器相结合，实现了从 1529.98 到 1605.85 nm 的 75.87 nm 调谐范围，如果有更宽的可调谐滤波器，调谐范围还能进一步提高。为了实现单频超窄线宽激光器的运行，采用了带有光纤子环和可饱和吸收器的环腔激光器配置。光纤激光器的实测光信噪比（OSNR）超过 80 dB，侧模抑制比（SMSR）可提高到 ∼ 60 dB，线宽可缩小到 ∼ 453 Hz。激光器的输出功率超过 28 mW，斜率效率为 2.05%。这种光纤激光器具有线宽窄、波长可调谐性好、输出功率高等优点，有望在光传感和光通信系统中得到应用。

C + L-band tunable sub-kHz linewidth single frequency fiber laser by combining a fiber sub-ring with a saturable absorber

A sub-kHz linewidth single-frequency fiber laser that can be tuned in the full range of C + L band is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. A broad band gain fiber by bidirectional pumping combining with a wide tunable filter is used to realize 75.87 nm tuning range from 1529.98 to 1605.85 nm, which can be further improved if a wider tunable filter is available. To achieve single-frequency ultra-narrow linewidth laser operation, a ring-cavity laser configuration with a fiber sub-ring and a saturable absorber is utilized. The measured optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of the fiber laser is over 80 dB, the side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) can be improved to ∼60 dB, and the linewidth can be narrowed to ∼453 Hz. The output power of the laser exceeds 28 mW, and the slope efficiency is 2.05 %. This proposed fiber laser has the advantages of narrow linewidth, excellent wavelength tunability, and high output power, which is promising for the applications in optical sensing and optical communication systems.
