Utilization of Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (RSOA) for Multiwavelength and Wavelength-Tunable Fiber Lasers
Description
In this chapter, there are three sections to demonstrate the reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA)-based fiber laser architectures for multiwavelength and wavelength-tunable operations. In the first section, we introduce an L-band multiwavelength laser by utilizing a C-band RSOA with a linear cavity, which is produced by a polarization controller (PC), an optical coupler (OCP), and a reflected fiber mirror (RFM). In the proposed RSOA laser scheme, two to seven wavelengths could be lased and created simultaneously in the L-band range, while the RSOA operates at various bias currents.
