Abstract

The device characteristics of Er3+:Yb3+ single frequency fiber lasers are reported. A 5cm long 1550 nm distributed feedback fiber laser with 4 mW output power is shown to have excellent specifications in terms of optical linewidth, signal-to-noise ratio, relative intensity noise, side-mode suppression and polarisation purity. For higher power applications, a 1.5cm single frequency Er3+:Yb3+ grating-based fiber laser with 60 mW output power and a net efficiency of 12% is demonstrated.
