Abstract EN
We have developed a unique wide and fast wavelength-swept fiber laser for dynamic and accurate fiber sensing.
The wavelength tuning is based on the dispersion tuning technique, which simply modulates the loss/gain in the dispersive laser cavity.
By using wideband semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), the sweep range could be as wide as ∼180 nm.
Since the cavity contains no mechanical components, such as tunable filters, we could achieve very high sweep rate, as high as ∼200 kHz.
We have realized the swept lasers at three wavelength bands, 1550 nm, 1300 nm, and 800 nm, using SOAs along with erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), and in two laser configurations, ring and linear ones.
We also succeeded in applying the swept laser for a dynamic fiber-Bragg grating (FBG) sensor system.
In this paper, we review our researches on the wide and fast wavelength-swept fiber lasers.
