Abstract:
A compact all-fiber, electrically tunable ring laser includes a diode-pumped erbium-doped fiber amplifier. The frequency of the laser is tuned by a fiber Fabry-Perot (FFP) etalon that is electrically tuned. An in-line optical isolator is used in conjunction with the FFP to eliminate undesired reflections. A second FPP with a narrow free spectral range (FSR) can be used in conjunction with a first FFP with a wide FSR.
