A 9.6 dB gain is observed at 1310 nm in a 5.0 cm bismuth-doped silica fiber. A launched pump power of 100 mW was obtained using an 810-nm laser diode. We demonstrated the simultaneous optical amplification at two wavelengths near second telecommunication windows, which is the range of zero-dispersion for silica fibers.

A high-speed wavelength swept laser, which is based on oscillation characteristics of a fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter, is described. The laser is constructed by using a semiconductor optical amplifier, a fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter, and 3.348 km fiber ring cavity. The wavelength sweeps are repeatatively generated with the repetition period of 61 kHz which is the first parallel oscillation frequency of the Fabry-Perot tunable filter for the low power consumption. Mode-locking is implemented by 3.348 km fiber ring cavity for matching the fundamental of cavity roundtrip time to the sweep period. The wavelength tuning range of the laser is 87 nm(FWHM) and the average output power is 1.284 mW.

We experimentally demonstrated a novel wavelength-swept laser using a cascaded Raman gain around 1310 nm. A 1064/1310 wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) coupler and coupled fiber Bragg gratings mirrors at 1064, 1117, 1175, 1240 nm are effectively used to increase the power efficiency in a laser ring cavity with highly non-linear fiber (HNLF) of 2 km. Linear wavelength sweeping is demonstrated with the 100 Hz triangular driving signal to fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter (FFP-TF) around the 1310 nm region. The measured sweeping range and output power were 27 nm and 2.1 mW, respectively, which are suitable for optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging.

A high-power Yb-doped femtosecond (fs) fiber laser at a repetition rate of 1.83 GHz is reported. By employing a 5-stage repetition rate multiplier, the repetition rate of the mode-locked master oscillator was multiplied from 57.1 MHz to 1.83 GHz. The ultrashort pulse output at 1.83 GHz was amplified in a two-stage Yb-doped fiber amplifier, leading to >100 W of fs laser output with a pulse duration of 290 fs. The theoretical pulse width along the fiber was simulated, showing that it was in good agreement with experimental results. Further improvement in power scaling is discussed.

In this work, we used PWM sampling for demodulation of a fiber-optic interferometric current transformer. The interference signal from a fiber-optic CT is sampled with PWM triggers that produce a 90-degree phase difference between two consecutively sampled signals. The current-induced phase is extracted by applying an arctangent demodulation and a phase unwrapping algorithm to the sampled signals. From experiments using the proposed demodulation, we obtained phase measurement accuracy and a linearity error, in AC current measurements, of ~2.35 mrad and 0.18%, respectively. The accuracy of the proposed method was compared with that of a lock-in amplifier demodulation, which showed only 0.36% difference. To compare the birefringence effects of different fiber-optic sensor coils, a flint glass fiber and a standard single-mode fiber were used under the same conditions. The flint glass fiber coil with a Faraday rotator mirror showed the best performance. Because of the simple hardware structure and signal processing, the proposed demodulation would be suitable for low-cost over-current monitoring in high voltage power systems.

마하-젠더 광 변조기(Mach-Zehnder modulator; MZM)와 EDFA(erbium-doped fiber amplifier)를 사용한 아날로그 광통신 링크의 랜덤 지터 (Random Jitter; RJ) 특성에 관하여 연구하였다. RF 주파수 분석기의 잡음 스펙트럼 데이터를 이용한 지터 측정법과 샘플링 오실로스코프의 히스토그램 데이터를 이용한 지터 측정법의 두 가지 방법으로 RJ를 구하였다. MZM에 인가되는 광 파워나 RF 파워가 증가하면 출력 신호 파워가 증가하여 RJ가 감소하였다. EDFA가 삽입되지 않은 링크에서 잡음 스펙트럼으로 측정한 최소 RJ는 RF 파워 10 dBm, 광 파워 8 dBm인 경우에 약 1 ps으로 나타났다. EDFA를 삽입한 링크에서는 EDFA 이득이 증가하면 RJ가 지속적으로 감소하여 지터 바닥에 수렴하였다. 이 보다 이득이 증가하면 다시 RJ가 증가하는 것을 관찰하였다. EDFA의 이득이 동일하면, 입력 광 파워가 클 때 RJ의 크기가 보다 작았고, 또한 입력 광 파워가 작은 경우에는 EDFA 이득이 증가함에 따라 RJ의 감소율이 보다 크게 나타났다.

Millimeter over Fiber (MMoF) 기법은 저손실로 장거리에 신호를 전송하기 위하여 밀리미터 대역의 신호를 광학적으로 변조하여 광섬유에 실어서 전송하는 기법이다. 이때 광학적 변조 기법으로는 색 분산(chromatic dispersion)이 적고 대역폭 효율이 뛰어난 광학적 단측파대 변조 (Optical Single sideband; OSSB) 방식이 주로 사용된다. OSSB를 사용하는 MMoF 시스템의 광학 연결부는 비선형 증폭기로 취급될 수 있으며, 그것의 AM/AM 특성 함수는 제 1차 제 1종 베셀 함수이다. 본 논문에서는 이를 고려한 OFDM MMoF 시스템의 성능을 알아보았다. 우리는 OFDM MMoF 시스템의 비선형 왜곡 잡음 전력을 추정하여 이론적인 비트 오율(Bit Error Rate; BER)을 분석하였으며, 모의실험을 통해 이를 검증하였다.

We briefly review the recent progress in passively mode-locked fiber lasers (PMLFLs) based on semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAMs) and discuss the detailed characterization of a SESAM-based, passively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser operating in the 1.5-${\mu}m$ spectral range for various configurations. A simple and compact design of the laser cavity enables the PMLFL to generate either femtosecond or wavelength-tunable picosecond pulses with high stability as the intra-cavity filtering method is altered. All the cavities investigated in our experiments present self-starting, continuous-wave mode-locking with no Q-switching instabilities. The excellent stability of the source eventually enables the wavelength-tunable PMLFL to be used as a master oscillator for a power-amplifier source based on a large-core EDF, generating picosecond pulses of >10-kW peak power and >100-nJ pulse energy.

We demonstrate a wavelength swept mode-locked ring laser for the frequency domain optical coherence tomography(FD OCT). A laser is constructed by using a semiconductor optical amplifier, fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter and 2.6 km fiber ring cavity. Mode-locking is implemented by 2.6 km fiber ring cavity for matching the fundamental or harmonic of cavity roundtrip time to a sweep period. The wavelength sweeps are repetitively generated with the repetition period of 77.2 kHz which is the parallel resonance frequency of Fabry-Perot tunable filter for the low driving current consumption of the fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter. The wavelength tuning range of the laser is more than FWHM of 61 nm centered at the wavelength of 1320 nm and the linewidth of the source is $0.014{\pm}0.002$ nm.
