  • c band wavelength swept single longitudinalmode erbium doped Fiber ring laser
    Optics Express, 2008
    Co-Authors: Kang Zhang, Jin U Kang
    Abstract:

    A wavelength-swept single-longitudinal-mode Erbium-Doped Fiber ring laser capable of operating at sweeping frequency in the order of a few kHz is designed and demonstrated by using a Fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter and a Sagnac loop incorporated with a 3.5-meter unpumped Erbium-Doped Fiber. The laser operates in continuous-wave (CW) mode and can sweep approximately 45 nm over the entire C-band (1520nm-1570nm) window with linewidth less than 0.7 kHz. The optimum wavelength sweeping frequency in order to achieve the best output power stability was found to be approximately20Hz with sweeping-induced power fluctuation of only 0.1%.

  • Enhanced triple-pass hybrid erbium doped Fiber amplifier using distribution pumping scheme in a dual-stage configuration
    Optik, 2020
    Co-Authors: Aya A. Almukhtar, Harith Ahmad, X S Cheng, Alabbas A. Al-azzawi, P.h. Reddy, Anirban Dhar, Mukul Chandra Paul, Sulaiman Wadi Harun
    Abstract:

    Abstract An enhanced triple-pass hybrid optical Fiber amplifier in a dual-stage configuration is presented by utilizing a combination of hafnium-bismuth Erbium-Doped Fiber (HB-EDF) and bismuth Erbium-Doped Fiber (Bi-EDF) as gain medium. The total Erbium-Doped Fiber length was only 199 cm, and both HB-EDF and Bi-EDF were forward pumped by 1480 nm with an optimum pump power of 170 mW and 110 mW, respectively to provide flat gain and wideband amplification. At high input power of -10 dBm, a flat gain of about 19 dB with gain fluctuation of less than 2 dB was observed over wideband ranging from 1555–1600 nm. On the other hand, the noise figure varied from 4.8–9.3 dB within the flat gain region. The triple-pass Erbium-Doped Fiber amplifier has been enhanced by utilizing distribution pumping scheme in the configuration. This improvised configuration minimised the cost of the amplifier yet having the comparable performance with the dual-pump configuration. A flat gain of 17.2 dB with the corresponding noise figure below 8 dB was obtained within 1555–1600 nm.

  • fwm based multi wavelength erbium doped Fiber laser using bi edf
    Laser Physics, 2010
    Co-Authors: Harith Ahmad, R Parvizi, Kaharudin Dimyati, Mohamad Rom Tamjis, Sulaiman Wadi Harun
    Abstract:

    We experimentally demonstrate a simple structure but efficient multi-wavelength Erbium-Doped Fiber laser (EDFL) using a 49 cm Bismuth-based Erbium-Doped Fiber (Bi-EDF) as gain medium. The Bi-EDF provides erbium amplification and FWM effect in the cavity to generate a stable multi-wavelength comb operating in C-band region. We have achieved more than 5 lines with peak power of more than -35 dBm and channel spacing of 0.5 nm by incorporating a broadband Fiber Bragg grating and polarization controller in the ring cavity.

  • wide band bismuth based erbium doped Fiber amplifier with a flat gain characteristic
    IEEE Photonics Journal, 2009
    Co-Authors: X S Cheng, Harith Ahmad, R Parvizi, Sulaiman Wadi Harun
    Abstract:

    In this paper, a bismuth-based Erbium-Doped Fiber amplifier (Bi-EDFA) that operates in both the C- and L-band wavelength regions is demonstrated. The system employs two pieces of bismuth-based Erbium-Doped Fiber (Bi-EDF) as the gain medium with a midway broadband Fiber Bragg grating (FBG). The FBG functions to prevent the gain saturation at the C-band region, flatten the overall gain spectrum, and reduce the noise figure, particularly for the C-band. At an input signal power of $-$ 30 dBm and a pump power of 150 mW for both pumps, a flat gain of around 29 dB is obtained with a gain variation of $\pm$ 3.5 dB within the wavelength region from 1525 to 1615 nm using a backward-pumping scheme. At an input power of 0 dBm, the gain varies from 10 to 13 dB within the wavelength range from 1530 to 1620 nm, while the corresponding noise figure varies from 9.5 to 14 dB over this wavelength range.

  • an efficient s band erbium doped Fiber amplifier using double pass configuration
    IEICE Electronics Express, 2005
    Co-Authors: Sulaiman Wadi Harun, Nor Kamilah Saat, Harith Ahmad
    Abstract:

    An efficient short wavelength band Erbium-Doped Fiber amplifier (S-band EDFA) is proposed and demonstrated using double-pass configuration. This amplifier provides a gain as high as 30dB, but using only 15m depressed cladding Erbium-Doped Fiber (EDF) and 130mW of 980nm pump power. Compared to the single-pass configuration, this amplifier shows a gain enhancement of about 14dB for pump powers above 120mW. However, noise figures penalties of about 0.5 ∼ 0.9dB are obtained for these pump powers. The proposed double-pass amplifier will play an important role in the development of a practical S-band EDFA from perspective of economical usage of EDF and pump power.

  • gain clamping in l band erbium doped Fiber amplifier using a Fiber bragg grating
    IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, 2002
    Co-Authors: Sulaiman Wadi Harun, S K Low, P Poopalan, Harith Ahmad
    Abstract:

    A gain-clamping technique for the long wavelength band (L-band) Erbium-Doped Fiber amplifier (EDFA) is presented. It uses a single Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) on the input side of Erbium-Doped Fiber (EDF) to inject a portion of backward conventional band (C-band) amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) back into the system. The use of a narrow-band (NB) FBG has shown a better performance in clamped-gain level and noise figure compared to a broad-band FBG. The amplifier gain for the NB FBG set up is clamped at 15.4 dB with a variation of less than 0.3 dB for an input power as high as 0 dBm.

  • tunable single polarization single longitudinal mode erbium doped Fiber ring laser employing a cmfbg filter and saturable absorber
    Optics and Laser Technology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Suchun Feng, Shaohua Lu, Wanjing Peng, Qi Li, Ting Feng, Shuisheng Jian
    Abstract:

    Abstract A tunable single-polarization single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) Erbium-Doped Fiber ring laser is proposed and demonstrated. For the first time as we know, a chirped moire Fiber Bragg grating (CMFBG) filter with ultra-narrow transmission band and a uniform Fiber Bragg grating (UFBG) are used to select the laser longitudinal mode. The stable SLM operation of the Fiber laser is guaranteed by the combination of the CMFBG filter and 3 m unpumped Erbium-Doped Fiber acting as a saturable absorber. The single polarization operation of the Fiber laser is obtained by using an inline broadband polarizer. A tuning range of about 0.7 nm with about 0.1 nm step is achieved by stretching the uniform FBG.

  • switchable dual wavelength polarization maintaining erbium doped Fiber laser using an optical circulator as the all reflecting mirror
    Optics and Laser Technology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Zhiming Liu, Peng Liu, Jingjing Zheng, Linyong Fan, Shuisheng Jian
    Abstract:

    Abstract A simple and effective switchable dual-wavelength polarization-maintaining Erbium-Doped Fiber laser is proposed and demonstrated. Only using a uniform Fiber Bragg grating written directly in a segment of the photosensitive and polarization-maintaining Erbium-Doped Fiber as the wavelength selector and an optical circulator as the all-reflecting mirror, a stable simultaneous dual-wavelength oscillation is achieved with a wavelength spacing of 0.364 nm experimentally by exploiting the polarization hole burning effect at room temperature. The output can be switched between single- and dual-wavelength by adjusting the polarization controller. The 3-dB bandwidth and the side mode suppression ratio of the laser’s outputs are measured to be less than 0.01 nm and more than 50 dB. The power fluctuation and wavelength drift are measured to be less than 0.50 dB and 0.020 nm over an hour.

    Photonics and Optoelectronics Meetings (POEM) 2008: Optoelectronic Devices and Integration, 2008
    Co-Authors: Suchun Feng, Wenhua Ren, Shuisheng Jian
    Abstract:

    An improved stable single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) Erbium-Doped Fiber (EDF) laser with multiple-linear short cavity is demonstrated. Three Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) with the same parameters directly written in a homemade photosensitive EDF (PEDF) in a single step are used as the wavelength-selective and mode-selective component in a 14 cm long linear laser cavity. The optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) is over 50 dB. The amplitude variation in nearly one hour is less than 0.3 dB. The proposed laser has the advantages such as simple fabrication and compact all-optical Fiber configuration.

    Optics Express, 2008
    Co-Authors: Suchun Feng, Tigang Ning, Ou Xu, Shaohua Lu, Xiangqiao Mao, Shuisheng Jian
    Abstract:

    An improved Erbium-Doped Fiber laser configuration for achieving single-polarization, switchable dual-wavelength of orthogonal polarizations oscillations at room temperature is proposed. For the first time,two Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) directly written in a polarization-maintaining (PM) and photosensitive Erbium-Doped Fiber (PMPEDF) as the wavelength-selective component are used in a linear laser cavity. Due to the polarization hole burning (PHB) enhanced by the polarization-maintaining FBG (PMFBG), the laser can be designed to operate in stable dual-wavelength or wavelength-switching modes with a wavelength spacing of 0.336nm at room temperature by adjusting a polarization controller (PC). Each lasing line shows a single polarization with a polarization extinction ratio of >25dB under different pump levels. The optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) is greater than 50 dB. The amplitude variation with 16 times scans in nearly one and half an hour is less than 0.5dB at both operating wavelength.
