Abstract
In this Letter, we present an all-fiber bismuth (Bi)-doped germanosilicate fiber laser that is continuously tunable within the range of 1425-1475 nm, enabled by a tunable optical filter. A maximum output power of 86.4 mW was achieved at 1450 nm with a slope efficiency of 13.7%. It is, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of an all-fiber tunable continuous-wave (CW) bismuth-doped fiber laser (BDFL) operating in the E + S band. Moreover, a bismuth-doped fiber amplifier (BDFA) was constructed to further scale the laser output power to 159.2 mW with a 21% slope efficiency. Across the 1425-1475 nm range, we achieved >117 mW output power with >50 dB in-band optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR).
期刊介绍:
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
