Tunable fiber ring laser with an intracavityhigh resolution filter employingtwo-dimensional dispersion and LCoS modulator

Abstract:

We demonstrate a tunable fiber ring laser employing a two-dimensional dispersion arrangement filter, with the lasing determined by a liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) spatial light modulator. Lasing wavelengths can be tuned discontinuously across the communication C-band at an addressable resolution of less than 200 MHz. We introduce full characterization of the laser output including phase and amplitude stability and short and long-term bandwidth measurements. © 2011 Optical Society of America
