10 GHz wavelength tunable active mode-locked fiber ring laser based on semiconductor optical amplifier
Article No.: 19, Pages 1 - 5
Abstract
A 10GHz Semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) based active mode-locked fiber ring laser with a forward injection optical pulse sequence is demonstrated with a wide wavelength tunable span in this paper. The laser can generate pulse sequence with pulsewidth around 12ps without any external pulse compression and high output power up to 10.75dBm at 10GHz stably. Incorporated with a tunable optical bandpass filter, about 35nm wavelength tunable span is achieved. A detailed experimental analysis is done about the influences of the characteristics of external pulse sequences and some key factors of the cavity on the pulsewidth of the output pulse sequence.
