Single-longitudinal-mode DBR Fiber Laser Based on the Self-made Photosensitive Er-Doped Fiber

摘要

Two fiber Bragg gratings with ~35mm spatial interval are written in the self-made photosensitive Erbium-doped fiber (PEDF) to form a fiber Bragg grating Fabry-Perot (FBG F-P) cavity. A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) fiber laser is built up based on the FBG F-P cavity. 1.8mW laser output is achieved with 63mW pump power. By calculating the mode-spacing using the effective length of the FBG F-P cavity, the output of the DBR fiber laser is proved to be single-longitudinal-mode (SLM).
