Properties of Pump-Laser Modules Exposed to Polarization-Dependent and Wavelength-Selective Feedback From Fiber Bragg Gratings

Nicolai Matuschek;Tomas Pliska;Norbert Lichtenstein

IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics
Year: 2008 | Volume: 44, Issue: 3 | Journal Article |
Cited by: Papers (4)
The performance of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) stabilized pump-laser modules is strongly influenced by changes of the state of polarization (SOP) arising from intrinsic and/or induced birefringence of the fiber. Birefringence changes the SOP as the light propagates back and forth between laser and FBG, which are separated by a distance of 1 to 2 m. As a result, the effective wavelength-selective fee...Show More
