Stable Single-Longitudinal-Mode Erbium Fiber Ring Laser Utilizing Self-Injection and Saturable Absorber

Stable Single-Longitudinal-Mode Erbium Fiber Ring Laser Utilizing Self-Injection and Saturable Absorber

In this work, we demonstrate a wavelength-tunable erbium-doped fiber (EDF) ring laser with stable single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) output. Here using the self-injection method and unpumped EDF-based saturable absorber can suppress other densely sidemode to achieve SLM. Hence, the output power and opti...
