Abstract
A stable room-temperature multi-wavelength Brillouin–Raman fiber laser with a ring cavity configuration was proposed and experimentally investigated. An obvious suppressant effect for unstable mode hopping of multi-wavelength lasing oscillations induced by deeply saturated effect was observed in the ring cavity configuration. Stable room-temperature multi-wavelength lasing oscillations with more than 30 lasing lines and wavelength spacing of 0.076nm were obtained with only 250mW Raman pump power and a section of high nonlinear fiber with a length of 1.5km. The lasing output is so stable that the maximum power fluctuations for the foremost three Stokes lines over more than 20min of observation were less than 0.30dB. The lasing stability of the laser was also compared with a linear cavity configuration with the same gain components and pump conditions. While using the linear laser cavity configuration, obvious mode hopping was observed. The minimum value of the maximum power fluctuations at all lasing lines over more than 10min of observation was more than 0.90dB.
