Multi-Wavelength Narrow Linewidth Random Fiber Laser Based on Fiber Bragg Grating Fabry-Perot Filter

Abstract

Recently, multi-wavelength narrow linewidth random fiber laser has very interested for every researcher in this field, because of their useful advantages application, such as high-resolution spectroscopy and fiber optic sensing. In this paper, the standard single-mode fiber is used to form a half-opened cavity structure for generating the narrow linewidth random fiber laser and used the FBG-FP as a filter to form the narrow linewidth RFL into multi-wavelength. Firstly, we used the Rayleigh scattering that processed as well as in a standard single-mode fiber to provide random distribution feedback at the same time while using erbium-doped fiber (EDF) to provide the gain or amplification for achieving a broadband random laser output. Then, FBG-FP is added to the half-open cavity random laser structure. The multi-wavelength and narrow linewidth RFL can be achieved when the broadband RFL goes through the FBG-FP. In this paper we have generated the multi-wavelength narrow linewidth random fiber laser which has more than 10 wavelengths and the 3dB bandwidth is less than 0.01 nm and the mode separation of each wavelength is 0.04nm.
