Abstract

Recently, there are many different methods proposed for generating multiple wavelength fiber lasers based on fiber nonlinear effects [1–3]. Among these methods, the unique characteristics of the hybrid Brillouin-erbium fiber laser (BEFL) make it as one of the attractive multiple wavelength laser sources for applications in optical communication systems. Most of the published reports on BEFLs are based on the C-band operating window because of the low efficient performance of multiple wavelengths BEFL in L-band. We have reported recently the concept of single-pass Brillouin pump (BP) pre-amplification technique to enhance the L-Band BEFL [4]. We show that the single-pass optical amplification provided by the erbium doped fiber (EDF) coil before the signal propagating into the single-mode fiber creates a more stable operation in which, the self-lasing cavity modes are efficiently suppressed in a wider wavelength range.
