研究目的
To demonstrate a configurable, triple wavelength fiber laser based on broadband mirrors (BBMs) and an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) using a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) as the primary gain medium for stable multiwavelength outputs suitable for wavelength division multiplexing systems.
研究成果
The proposed configurable, triple wavelength SOA-based MWFL using BBMs and an AWG successfully demonstrates stable multiwavelength outputs with adjustable channel spacing and wavelength range, making it suitable as an alternative laser source for WDM systems.
研究不足
Minor mode competition at low gain currents causes instabilities in the light propagating through the optical fiber, leading to asymmetrical spectrum and signal quality degradation due to factors like crosstalk, nonlinear impairment, waveform distortion, and optical power reflection.
