Suppression of relaxation oscillations in tunable fiber lasers with a nonlinear amplified loop mirror

The concept of relaxation oscillation damping in a tunable fiber laser with a nonlinear absorber or loss element is demonstrated, using a dual-cavity erbium-doped fiber laser. A nonlinear amplified loop mirror was employed as the nonlinear loss element to facilitate damping. Experimental results exh...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The concept of relaxation oscillation damping in a tunable fiber laser with a nonlinear absorber or loss element is demonstrated, using a dual-cavity erbium-doped fiber laser. A nonlinear amplified loop mirror was employed as the nonlinear loss element to facilitate damping. Experimental results exhibiting complete elimination of relaxation oscillations are presented.< >
