Switchable and tuneable multi-wavelength ER-doped fibre ring laser using sagnac filters¹

We demonstrate experimentally a simple configuration to perform wavelength-tuning and multi-wavelength operation in a fibre ring laser that is composed of an Erbium-doped fibre and includes a fibre-optic Sagnac interferometer as a spectral filter. We consider three different Sagnac filters including...

description We demonstrate experimentally a simple configuration to perform wavelength-tuning and multi-wavelength operation in a fibre ring laser that is composed of an Erbium-doped fibre and includes a fibre-optic Sagnac interferometer as a spectral filter. We consider three different Sagnac filters including a 3 dB coupler, two wave retarders (WRs) and respectively 7 cm, 1 and 7 m of high birefringence fibre. The transmission spectrum of each filter is sinusoidal with a 70, 6, and 0.85 nm period, and its maxima can be shifted over one period by adjusting the angle of the retarders in the loop.
