Abstract
In this paper, we construct a narrow-linewidth amplifier based on polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber, which can be injected by a fiber oscillator seed or white noise signal phase-modulated seed. The stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), SRS, spectral broadening, self-pulsing properties of the fiber amplifier when its’ injected signal is 0° or 45° relative to the slow axes of the PM fiber are studied. It is indicated that when the injected signal is launched at 45° relative to the slow axes, the nonlinear effects are significantly suppressed compared with the case of the injected signal is launched parallel to the slow axis. The spectral broadening rate is reduced from 0.14 pm W−1 to 0.0747 pm W−1, the ratio of Raman to laser peak intensity is increased from 20 dB to 30 dB, the SBS threshold is increased by >24%, and the self-pulsing threshold is increased by 28.7%. It is worth noting that the nonlinear properties corresponding to the injected polarization state in our experiment are quite different from some earlier works.
