Broad-band continuously tunable all-fibre DFB lasers
Up to 27-nm continuous tuning is demonstrated from Er/Yb all-fiber distributed-feedback (DFB) lasers using a simple tuning technique for axial extension and compression. The demonstrated devices operate with powers up to 10 dBm and remain operating in single mode over the full tuning range. Our results represents the broadest tuning-range previously reported in any DFB laser configuration and demonstrate that uniform compression tuning of long Bragg gratings is possible with high reliability.

Abstract

Up to 27-nm continuous tuning is demonstrated from Er/Yb all-fiber distributed-feedback (DFB) lasers using a simple tuning technique for axial extension and compression. The demonstrated devices operate with powers up to 10 dBm and remain operating in single mode over the full tuning range. Our results represents the broadest tuning-range previously reported in any DFB laser configuration and demonstrate that uniform compression tuning of long Bragg gratings is possible with high reliability.
