SOA-based multiwavelength fiber laser assisted by intensity dependent transmission mechanism
We investigate an intensity influence towards the flatness of multiwavelength fiber laser (MWFL) based on intensity dependent transmission (IDT) mechanism. The intensity is varied by changing semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) current and throughput port ratio. Owing to the IDT mechanism, the mul...

| Summary: | We investigate an intensity influence towards the flatness of multiwavelength fiber laser (MWFL) based on intensity dependent transmission (IDT) mechanism. The intensity is varied by changing semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) current and throughput port ratio. Owing to the IDT mechanism, the multiwavelength flatness is degraded with the increment of SOA current. The change of throughput port ratio of optical splitter from 10% to 90% has also affected a worse multiwavelength flatness. The flattest multiwavelength spectrum is achieved at SOA current and throughput port of 150 mA and 10%, respectively, with the lasing lines are counted up to 300 channels within 3 dB uniformity. |
