Two fiber lasers with different structures have been set up, one is the line cavity fiber laser with the dielectric mirror being replaced by an all-fiber reflecting mirror,the other is the ring cavity all-fiber laser. Both set-ups have achieved lasing operation at the wavelength of 1.53 μm. Pumped by the 1 064 nm light from all-solid-state Nd ∶YAG laser, the two fiber lasers at 1 530 nm are operational. Their output powers are 7.8 mW and 2 mW with 130 mW and 160 mW pump powers.展开更多

By using 9m long Er~ 3+ ∶Yb~ 3+ co-doped fiber(EYDF) as the gain medium, and using a pair of fiber Bragg gratings as wavelength filters, the line-width of the output laser is as narrow as 0.2nm and the output power is more than 6mW. The fluorescent effect of the laser before its emission is also studied. And it is found that the Er~ 3+ ∶Yb~ 3+ co-doped double-clad fiber laser also exhibits a high gain for Yb~ 3+ transition near 1080nm.展开更多

The change characteristic of output power sag with pulse duration and repetition rate was shown. Whether single or multi-channel input pulses are amplified, the shorter the input pulse duration is, the smaller the power sags of output pulse will be. At low repetition rate, upper gain values（G upper ） of gain swing are almost the same for different input pulse durations, which tend to the small signal gain, but lower gain value（G lower ） of short input pulse is larger than that of long input pulse. At high repetition rate, lower gain value（G lower ） approaches to upper gain value（G upper ）.展开更多

The characterization of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from this newly fabricated single-mode Er3+-doped tellurite fibers is also presented. When pumped at 980 nm, a very broad erbium ASE around 1.53 μm was observed. The variations of ASE with fiber length and pumping power are measured and discussed. The output of 2 mW from Er3+-doped tellurite fiber ASE source was obtained under the pump power of 660 mW.展开更多
