Compared with discrete optical fiber amplification technology, Distributed Raman Amplification (DRA) technology has shown obvious advantages in many aspects such as noise figure, nonlinear damage, gain bandwidth, etc., and has gained advantages in the field of optical fiber communication and sensing. widely used. High-order DRA can make the gain deep into the link to achieve qu...

Photodiode with internal signal amplification by avalanche process.

In recent years, with the continuous expansion of pulsed laser applications, the high output power and high single pulse energy of pulsed lasers is no longer a purely pursued goal. In contrast, the more important parameters are: pulse width, pulse shape and repetition frequency. Among them, the pulse width is particularly important. Almost just by looking at this parameter, you...

Since the invention of the world‘s first semiconductor laser in 1962, the semiconductor laser has undergone tremendous changes, greatly promoting the development of other science and technology, and is considered to be one of the greatest human inventions in the twentieth century. In the past ten years, semiconductor lasers have developed more rapidly and have become the faste...

The working medium used in the fiber laser has the form of fiber, and the fiber laser characteristics are affected by the fiber conducting properties.

The structure of the optical fiber:

The output power of the first fiber laser was only a few milliwatts. Recently, fiber lasers have developed rapidly, and high-power fiber amplifiers have been obtained. In particular, the output power of the amplifiers can reach tens of hundreds of watts, even in some single-mode fibers. on kilowatts. This is due to the large surface area to volume ratio of the fiber (to avoid e...

In various optical fiber interference instruments, in order to obtain the maximum coherence efficiency, the polarization state of the optical fiber propagating light is required to be very stable. The transmission of light in a single-mode fiber is actually two orthogonal polarization fundamental modes. When the optical fiber is an ideal optical fiber, the transmitted fundament...
