Forward output laser was amplified using a certain length of Nufern EDFL-980-Hp erbium-doped fiber to absorb the surplus pump power after the active phase-shifted fiber grating and get population inversion. By using OptiSystem software, the best fiber length of the EDFL to get the highest gain was simulated. In order to keep the amplified laser with the narrow line-width and low noise, a narrow-band light filter consisting of a fiber Bragg grating （FBG） with the same Bragg wavelength as the laser and an optical circulator was used to filter the amplified spontaneous emission （ASE） noise of the out-cavity erbium-doped fiber. The designed laser structure sufficiently utilized the pump power, and a DFB fiber laser with the 32.5-mW output power, l l.5-kHz line width, and -87-dB/Hz relative intensity noise （R1N） at 300 mW of 980 nm pump power was brought out.展开更多
