Multi-wavelength Erbium-doped fiber(EDF) ring laser was developed by using a sampled fiber Bragg grating reflecting multiple wavelengths, which was formed by impressing periodical pressure on the outside of a fiber Bragg grating. The wavelength spacing was varied to 4.1nm, 1.41nm and 0.82nm, by pressing the grating with the pressure period $200{\mu}m$, $580{\mu}m$ and $1000{\mu}m$, respectively.

강한 세기의 레이저가 원자에 입사하여, 조사된 레이저 파장의 홀수 배에 해당하는 파장을 가진 빛이 여러 차수에 걸쳐 발생하는 것을 고차조화파(high-order harmonics)라고 한다. (1.2) 고차조화파를 이용하면 고가의 방사광 가속기로 발생시키는 연엑스선 영역의 빛을 작은 비용과 작은 규모의 장비로 발생시킬 수 있으므로 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 고차조화파는 기본적으로 원자의 공간적인 대칭성과 레이저 전기장의 시간적 주기성에 의해 홀수 차수에서 발생하게 된다. (중략)

We constructed grating- tuned external cavity semiconductor lasers using Littman and Littrow configuration, for which the wavelengths are tuned by rotation of the grating. This wavelength tunable semiconductor laser is one of the main devices of WDM optical communication. In Littman configuration, the wavelength range of about 60 nm (The C- and L-band range of 1,530~1,590 nm) was obtained by changing the incidence angle of the grating about $\pm$1$^{\circ}$ from the incidence angle of 70$^{\circ}$. In the 40 nm tuning range, the output power variation was less than 1.25 ㏈ and the side mode suppression ratio(SMSR) was 32 ㏈. In Littrow configuration (The incidence angle and the first order diffraction angle is the same, i.e. $\alpha$=$\delta$), the wavelength tuning range was about 80 nm for the same conditions used in Littman configuration except the incidence angle ($\alpha$=49$^{\circ}$). In 60 nm tuning range, the output power variation was less than 1.5 ㏈ and SMSR was 35 ㏈.

In this paper, we proposed the new wavelength tunable filter for wide tunability of fiber ring laser. The proposed filter consists of the cascaded connection of Fiber Reflection Mach-Zehnder Interferometer and Sagnac filter or of hybrid filter and Fiber Reflection Mach-Zehnder Interferometer. The simulation shows that the continuous tunable range of 50nm can be obtained and that more stable single mode operation of ring laser can be expected due to narrow FWHM. of filter spectrum.

We have utilized soft-aperturing by gain media to develop a high-power tunable Ti:Sapphire laser with sub-40-fs and broad tuning range. The tunable spectral range was only limited by the bandwidth of mirrors. We made use of knife-edge slits near an intra-cavity prism controlled by micro-stepping-motors to tune the center wavelength continuously. The tunability of the center wavelength was ranged from 770 nm to 870 nm, and the measured pulsewidth was sub-40 fs throughout the above spectral range. The shortest pulsewidth was about 17 fs at the center wavelength of 820 nm and the spectral bandwidth was 72 nm. At 5 W pumping power of the Ar-ion laser we obtained average output power of 440 mW~580 mW. For the cw and Kerr-lens mode-lodking conditions, we have evaluated the value of an amplitude modulation to be ${\gamma}=2.5{\times}10^{-8}/W$ from the calculated waists of a Gaussian beam on the Ti:sapphire crystal surface. Using this result we demonstrate that the generation of sub-40-fs Kerr-lens mode-locked pulse can be described by the Ginzberg-Landau model which is a weak pulse shaping model.

We demonstrate a ring type wavelength swept laser incorporating a fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter in a laser cavity using 1300 nm semiconductor optical amplifier as a gain medium. The output characteristics of the wavelength swept laser according to the applied scanning frequencies are analyzed in the temporal and spectral domain. The output of the wavelength swept laser decreases dramatically as the scanning frequency increases. And there is a significant peak power imbalance between the forward scan and the backward scan as the scanning frequency increases. Its use in practical applications might be limited.
