Tunable Passively-Synchronized 1-μm Q-Switched and 1.5-μm Gain-Switched Dual-Wavelength Fiber Laser Based on an Er/Yb Codoped Fiber

A wavelength-tunable passively-synchronized 1-μm Q-switched and 1.5-μm gain-switched dual-wavelength pulsed fiber laser has been demonstrated with a single gain fiber for the first time to our knowledge. The realized dual-wavelength co-oscillation is based on a dual ring-cavity...

description A wavelength-tunable passively-synchronized 1-&#x03BC;m Q-switched and 1.5-&#x03BC;m gain-switched dual-wavelength pulsed fiber laser has been demonstrated with a single gain fiber for the first time to our knowledge. The realized dual-wavelength co-oscillation is based on a dual ring-cavity configuration with a common Er&#x002F;Yb co-doped fiber (EYDF). The Q-switched 1-&#x03BC;m pulses are generated through the saturable absorption effect of unpumped EYDF aided by a 1.5-&#x03BC;m oscillation cavity, whereas the 1.5-&#x03BC;m pulses are produced by the gain-switching of Er<sup>3&#x002B;</sup> ions induced by the 1-&#x03BC;m Q-switched pulses. A tuning range of 11.7&#x00A0;nm from 1045.3 to 1057 nm and 29.7 nm from 1535 to 1564.7 nm are obtained at stable synchronized pulse operation for 1 and 1.5-&#x03BC;m spectral bands, respectively.
