Wavelength-tunable single longitudinal mode fiber optical parametric oscillator

We demonstrate a ring cavity single longitudinal mode fiber optical parametric oscillator using a passive sub-ring cavity and an unpumped erbium doped fiber configured with an external fiber mirror for single mode selection. The unpumped erbium doped fiber uses its saturable absorption characteristi...

description We demonstrate a ring cavity single longitudinal mode fiber optical parametric oscillator using a passive sub-ring cavity and an unpumped erbium doped fiber configured with an external fiber mirror for single mode selection. The unpumped erbium doped fiber uses its saturable absorption characteristic to generate a self-induced narrowband filter when two counter-propagating waves interfere inside the fiber. A single longitudinal mode laser is obtained with a linewidth of 17.35 kHz at a pump power of 31.2 dBm. A 3.8 nm tuning range from 1536.5 nm to 1540.3 nm is achieved with a signal-to-noise ratio of about 60 dB. The power stability of the single longitudinal mode laser is 2.07 dB over a period of 30 minutes.
