In this paper, we report on the high power amplification of a narrow-linewidth Yb-doped polarization-maintained (PM) fiber laser in a 3-stage, all-fiber master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system. The linearly polarized single-mode output power was 400 W with an 85% slope efficiency, with a linewidth of 2.5 GHz (full width at half maximum). Furthermore, mitigation of mode instability (MI) has been demonstrated by tightly coiling the gain fiber to a diameter of 11 cm. In addition, methods for higher power scaling are discussed.

The pump-probe scheme is used to analyze the cross-phase modulation penalty of a single-mode fiber in a WDM system. The pump signal is assumed to be a periodically modulated input like a raised sinusoidal. The periodic signal models an alternating bit sequence, and leads to an analytical expression of CPM penalty which is measured by EOP. The derived expression shows good agreement with numerical results in conventional single-mode fiber systems over a wide range of channel spacing, ${\Delta}f$. In dispersion-shifted fiber systems when ${\Delta}f$ < 100GHz, the derived expression shows increased discrepancy with the numerical results due to the increased FWM. This is not a surprising because the pump-probe scheme is used to analyze system performance degradation due to CPM.

We report the fiber-optic current sensors composed of a side-polished single-mode fiber with the thermo-optic Polymer layer and the metal wire as a heater. The index change of polymer layers caused by the resistant heat of the metal wires induces the optical attenuation through the evanescent field of the side-polished single-mode fiber. Two types of the sensors are proposed and their characteristics as a current sensor are investigated.

지금까지 측면이 코어 가까이 연마된 잔일모드 광섬유와 평면 도파로 사이의 광결합을 이용한 소자들이 많이 연구되고 있다. 이를 이용한 소자들로는 광필터, 광변조기, 광스위치, 굴절계, 편광기 등이 있으며 최근에는 파장분할다중화(WDM)에서 인접채널간의 채널분리를 위한 소자로서 빗살필터의 연구 또한 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 측면이 코어 가까이 연마된 단일모드 광섬유와 평면도파로 사이의 광결합을 이용한 빗살필터를 제작하였으며 열광학 효과를 이용하여 파장 가변 빗살 필터를 구현해 보았다. (중략)

We report high-power continuous-wave operation of a Yb-doped fiber laser at 1070 nm, pumped by high-power laser diodes at 976 nm. Based on theoretical calculation of the stimulated Raman scattering and temperature distribution in the fiber, we construct a bidirectionally pumped Yb-fiberlaser system incorporating a pair of fiber Bragg gratings and a cladding light stripper. The fiber laser yields 3.0 kW of continuous-wave output at 1070 nm in a diffraction-limited beam with M² ≈ 1.26 for 4.1 kW of incident pump power, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 81.5%. The prospects for further power scaling are discussed.

A study of the tunable fiber DFB laser using PZT-stretcher is presented. The device has an laser ocsillator by using a fiber Bragg grating at 1559.4 nm written directly into a 3-cm long $Er^{3+}$ doped fiber. Post UV-exposure method to provide the necessary phase shift is used for a single mode operation. The device shows the single mode operation of $230\muW$ output power and has a narrow linewidth of 35 kHz. The lasing wavelength of the laser can be tuned in a range of 3 nm by stretching the grating.rating.

The use of thermally expanded core (TEe) fibers fabricated by thermal diffusion of dopants such as $GeO_{2}$ in hybrid fiber components has an advantage of eliminating lenses for collimation and focusing. An electric furnace is fabricated to heat the fibers locally for the core expansion. We observed an expansion of the mode size at $1.3\mu\textrm{m}$ wavelength by 27% after treating a section of single mode optical fiber at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours. hours.

Subnanosecond optical pulses with 0.8-1.Bum wavelength are generated by experimentally realizing a single pass fiber Raman laser. This fiber Raman laser is pumped by a mode-locked and Q-switched Nd-YAG laser. Two wave sum frequency phenomenon is also obsenred in the course of the experimental work. The fiber Raman laser is then used to measure dispersion characteristics of a sin\ulcorner mode fiber in the long-wavelength lesion.
