    Abstract: A multi-wavelength laser source is provided including a pump laser unit, a gain section and an output. The pump laser unit generates an energy signal, which is applied to the gain section. The gain section includes a gain medium with having a superstructure grating forming a distributed Fabry-Perot-like structure. The superstructure grating causes a multi-wavelength laser signal to be generated when the energy signal is applied to the gain medium. The multi-wavelength laser signal is then released at the output.

    Abstract: A Raman amplifier structure (121, 221) for optically amplifying an input optical signal comprises an optical means (22) through which the optical signal is propagated, a first pump optical source (10) for generating a first pump radiation and at least one second pump optical source (24, 27) for generating a second pump radiation. The first and second pump optical radiations are combined and propagated in optical transmission means (22) for supplying an optical amplification of the signal through the Raman effect. The first pump optical source (10) comprises a first laser source (12) for generating a radiation with relatively low noise and relatively low power and a Raman amplifier (13) for amplifying the radiation coming from the first laser source for generating the first pump radiation. The Raman amplifier (13) comprises a second laser source (14) for generating an optical radiation having relatively higher power and noise than the first laser source and the radiation coming from the second laser source is used for counter-pumping the radiation coming from the first laser source (12) for generating the first pump radiation. This limits the amount of noise transferred from the second source (14) to the first pump radiation.

    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for controlling a gain of a bidirectionally-pumped Raman fiber amplifier having both forward optical pumps and backward optical pumps. The overall gain is controlled by adjusting the forward optical pumps, while the power levels of the backward optical pumps are essentially fixed. Gain circuitry operates in an opened loop configuration and uses a predetermined function relating a power variation of at least one wavelength region with a pump power adjustment for at least one forward optical pump. Two approximate linear relationships between the input signal power variations and the required pump power adjustments are utilized in controlling the Raman fiber amplifier. Each approximate linear relationship includes at least one linear coefficient that relates a power variation for a specific wavelength region and a power adjustment of a specific Raman pump.

Such a stretched-pulse Raman fiber laser has a laser cavity that includes a Negative Group Velocity Dispersion Fiber connected in series with a Positive Group Velocity Dispersion Fiber, a polarization controller and an isolator. In some examples, the Negative Group Velocity Dispersion Fiber is a Dispersion Compensating Fiber. In other examples, the Negative Group Velocity Dispersion Fiber is replaced by a Raman Specialty Fiber.

    Abstract: A method of fabrication of laser gain material and utilization of such media includes the steps of introducing a transitional metal, preferably Cr2+ thin film of controllable thickness on the ZnS crystal facets after crystal growth by means of pulse laser deposition or plasma sputtering, thermal annealing of the crystals for effective thermal diffusion of the dopant into the crystal volume with a temperature and exposition time providing the highest concentration of the dopant in the volume without degrading laser performance due to scattering and concentration quenching, and formation of a microchip laser either by means of direct deposition of mirrors on flat and parallel polished facets of a thin Cr:ZnS wafer or by relying on the internal reflectance of such facets. The gain material is susceptible to utilization of direct diode or fiber laser pumping of a microchip laser with a level of power density providing formation of positive lens and corresponding cavity stabilization as well as threshold population inversion in the laser material. Multiple applications of the laser material are contemplated in the invention.
