High frequency microwave signal generation using dual-wavelength emission of cascaded DFB fiber lasers with wavelength spacing tunability
2010
[EN] A dual wavelength fiber laser source based on two cascaded phase-shifted fiber Bragg gratings is presented The gratings are written in an erbium-doped fiber each configuring the cavity of a distributed feedback fiber laser The spacing between lasing modes is controlled dynamically by the use of piezoelectric actuators A continuous tuning range of 5-724 pm of the wavelength difference which is equivalent to a photodetected 072-92 GHz range is obtained Efficient generation from the L to the W microwave and millimeter bands has been achieved by heterodyne photodetection of the dual-wavelength optical signal (C) 2010 Elsevier BV All rights reserved
