Stable and Tunable Single-Longitudinal-Mode Erbium-Doped Fiber Triple-Ring Laser With Power-Equalized Output

In this demonstration, we propose and investigate a stable and tunable single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) erbium-doped fiber (EDF) ring laser structure. Here, in order to achieve the SLM output, the “eye-type” triple-ring scheme is designed in this EDF laser to suppress the densely...
