Description
Summary:Nowadays, optical communication and industry system is expecting ultra-high transmission speed, which makes it critical for generation of ultra-short optical pulses at a high repetition rate (10-160 Gbit/s). There are two main objectives in this project. The first objective is to demonstrate a novel single-longitudinal mode (SLM) multiple-dual-wavelength fiber laser (MDWFL) incorporating an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) in the actively mode-locked ring cavity. The output of the MDWFL can be used to generate and distribute millimeter wave (MMW) experimentally along the fiber link. The second projective is to design an actively mode-locked fiber ring cavity, which can generate highly tunable laser at 1060nm by using semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and Fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter (FFP-TF).
