Autocorrelation function(ACF) and mutual information(MI) are used for quantitatively identifying the TDS of chaos. For various bias currents, the TDS evolution with the feedback strength is different, as the FBG provides wavelength-selective feedback. Furthermore,based on the TDS map of the FBG feedback VCSEL(FBGF-VCSEL) in the parameter space of feedback strength and bias current, the optimal TDS suppression regions, where the dominant polarization mode of FBGF-VCSEL locates at the edge of the main lobe of FBG reflection spectrum, have been determined. Finally, for comparative purpose,the TDS of chaos in mirror feedback VCSEL(MF-VCSEL) also has been presented, and the results show that an FBGF-VCSEL possesses better TDS suppression performance than an MF-VCSEL.展开更多

An on-demand mode solid laser in the 1064 nm band was proposed previously. In this paper, we provide a fiber laser for on-demand modes in the 1550 nm band to prescribe the pure and high-quality emission of a higher-order transverse laser mode, based on a simple construction with one spatial light modulator(SLM) and a single-mode erbium-doped fiber(SM-EDF). The SLM is designated to generate the desired higher-order mode and separate the higher-order mode and the fundamental mode. The fundamental mode oscillates in the fiber ring laser, and therefore the SM-EDF can be pumped with a single-mode 980 nm laser, no matter what higher-order mode is prescribed.In this proof-of-principle experiment, high-quality higher-order modes are observed from LP01 to LP105.Stable emission and real-time switching between modes can be easily realized by altering the phase on the SLM. In addition, the propagation of the LP_(01), LP_(11), LP_(21), and LP_(02) modes from the fiber laser is also demonstrated in a four-mode few-mode fiber.展开更多
