Convertible Dark Pulse and Bright Pulse Fiber Ring Laser by Adjusting the Polarization

A wavelength tunable, dark pulse, and bright pulse-switched dual-wavelength fiber ring laser is reported. Through adding high nonlinear optical fiber as a nonlinear medium in the fiber ring cavity, the double-wavelength dark-bright pulse pair can be formed. The separation of dark-bright pulse pair c...

Description
Summary:A wavelength tunable, dark pulse, and bright pulse-switched dual-wavelength fiber ring laser is reported. Through adding high nonlinear optical fiber as a nonlinear medium in the fiber ring cavity, the double-wavelength dark-bright pulse pair can be formed. The separation of dark-bright pulse pair can be achieved by polarization beam splitter. The dark pulse and bright pulse with orthogonal polarization correspond to different wavelengths, respectively. Then, via tunable optical filter and polarization controller to filter out the wavelength we need and adjust the polarization, we achieved the interconversion of dark pulse and bright pulse in the same wavelength and the tunableness of wavelengths of dark pulse and bright pulse in our laser.
