| Title: | Beat-frequency adjustable Er³⁺-doped DBR fiber laser for ultrasound detection | Authors: | Guo, T Wong, ACL Liu, WS Guan, BO Lu, C Tam, HY |
Issue Date: | 31-Jan-2011 | Source: | Optics express, 31 Jan. 2011, v. 19, no. 3, p. 2485-2492 | Abstract: | A compact low beat-frequency dual-polarization distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) fiber laser whose beat frequency can be varied, for high-frequency ultrasound detection has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The laser was fabricated in small birefringent commercial erbium-doped fiber. It operated in a robust single-longitude mode with output power of more than 1 mW and high signal-to-noise ratio better than 60 dB. Induced birefringence to the fiber during the UV inscription process is small (~10‾ ⁷) and consequently the laser beats at a low frequency of ~20 MHz which is at least one order of magnitude smaller than previously reported results, making frequency down-conversion unnecessary. The beat frequency can be adjusted by controlling the side-exposure time of the UV light irradiating the gain cavity, providing a simple approach to multiplex a large number of DBR fiber lasers of different frequencies in series using frequency division multiplexing (FDM) technique. The proposed DBR fiber laser is also temperature insensitive, making it a good candidate for hydrophone applications. | Keywords: | Birefringence DBR lasers Electroacoustic transducers Erbium Fading (radio) Fibers Frequency allocation |
