Spectral tailoring of erbium superfluorescent fibresource

Shellee D. Dyer, Kent B. Rochford

Published May 28, 1998• 12 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The output spectrum of an erbium superfluorescent fibre source (SFS) is tailored by replacing the broadband mirror in the conventional double-pass design with a combination of reflective Bragg gratings. Increased bandwidth and a factor of two reduction in coherence length are demonstrated compared to a conventional SFS.

Engineering the redistribution of power in an erbium-doped superfluorescent fibre source

Duncan McMillan

We demonstrate a novel method for equalising the spectra of erbium doped superfluorescent fibre sources in the double-pass forward configuration. The equalising technique uses novel single-mode fibre to planar waveguide filters in a double-pass forward superfluorescent source to smooth the output spectrum. The insertion loss of the filter device used in this paper is <0.9dB but insertion losses of 0.2dB are typical. The unfiattened double-pass forward superfluorescent source with 108.5mW pump power has an output power of <30mW, 44.2% of the quantum efficiency and a 3dB linewidth of 5.43nm. The equalised DPF SFS with 108.5mW pump power has an output <30mW, 44.85% of the quantum efficiency, a 3dB linewidth of 31.26mn with a small ~0.936dB ripple. The overall gain flattened spectral density is increased from 468.6μW/nm to 887.8?W/um in the lSSOnm region.

Polarized superfluorescent fiber source

Dario G. Falquier, Jefferson L. Wagener, Michel J. F. Digonnet +1 more

We report the demonstration of a polarized superfluorescent fiber source (SFS) that increases the power output in the desired linearly polarized component by a factor of 1.76 over that of a standard, unpolarized SFS that uses the same pump power. This increase in efficiency is accomplished by insertion of a low-loss polarizer at an optimum point in the erbium-doped fiber of a standard SFS.

We have demonstrated the first superfluorescent fibre source emitting in the range. In a double-pass configuration with an amplifier, its output power is under pumping at . Its emission spectrum has a nearly Gaussian shape, with a full width at half maximum of at the highest pump power.

Design for efficient erbium-doped fiber-based superfluorescent source

Parthasarathi Palai, Sze Yun Set

An efficient erbium doped fiber based superfluorescent source, which operates by reflection of the backward ASE in the forward direction, has been studied. Dependence of conversion efficiency on fiber length and amount of reflectance has been investigated. A simple reflecting device such as a Faraday rotating mirror can be used for this purpose so as to increase the conversion efficiency of the reflected forward ASE.
