One KHz Order Narrow Linewidth Fiber Laser Using Rayleigh Backscattering Mechanism in an Additional Piece Optical Fiber
A simple, low-cost, single-longitudinal mode, C-band narrow-linewidth optical fiber laser is presented based on the methodology of the Rayleigh backscattering (RBS). In this paper, a 1551 nm fiber ring laser is developed, and single-mode fiber (SMF) is added to compress the line width. When the SMF...

| description | A simple, low-cost, single-longitudinal mode, C-band narrow-linewidth optical fiber laser is presented based on the methodology of the Rayleigh backscattering (RBS). In this paper, a 1551 nm fiber ring laser is developed, and single-mode fiber (SMF) is added to compress the line width. When the SMF length of the RBS cavity is 120 m, the laser has better performance than that in other SMF lengths with a laser line width of 1.46 KHz with housing shield. The optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) is 59.86 dB, and its maximum output power is 9.4 mW. It can quickly achieve the single longitude-mode operation by controlling the variable optical attenuator (VOA). The bit error rate at 10 Gb/s PRBS NRZ modulation is measured to be 10<sup>−9</sup> when the optical receiving power is −16.2 dBm. |
