  • We report a resonance fiber Bragg sensor interrogation based on a Fourier domain mode-locking (FDML) laser. The FDML laser is constructed based on a conventional ring laser cavity configuration with fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter (FFP-TF). There are two sensor parts which are composed with two FBGs inside the laser cavity. Each sensor part provides a separate laser cavity for the FDML laser. The resonance frequencies of the laser cavities are 46.687 kHz and 44.340 kHz, respectively. We applied a static and a dynamic strain on the FBG sensor system. The slope coefficients of the measured relative wavelength shift and relative time interval from the static strain are found to be $0.61pm/{\mu}{\epsilon}$ and $0.8ns/{\mu}{\epsilon}$, respectively.

  • 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.

  • The erbium doped fibre ring laser (EDFL) is modelled using the standard propagation and rate equations of a homogeneous, two-level gain medium. The EDFL numerical simulations provide comparable results with the experimental data. The process of lasing mode competition and mode selection is clearly depicted and explained.

  • We have experimentally demonstrated a Direct Optical Switching (DOS) CDMA for future wide-band mobile communication systems at the 40 ㎓ band by using orthogonal (crosscorrelation $\leq$2) unipolar type codes with code length of 16 and chip rate of 2.5 Gcps for radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems. Pulse-amplitude-equalized 40 ㎓ laser pulses were provided by rational-harmonically mode-locking a 10 ㎓ fiber ring laser.
