Continuously tunable single-frequency fiber laser based on novel hybrid Šole filter

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

An electro-optically tunable erbium-doped fiber ring laser with a side mode suppression ratio of ∼51.2 dB and a 0.062 nm linewidth is demonstrated. Wavelength tuning is achieved with a hybrid liquid crystal Šole structure used as an intracavity tunable filter. The laser wavelength is tuned over 28.6 nm with a tuning rate of 2.38 nm/V.
