Longitudinal mode control in few-mode erbium-doped fiber lasers
- Department of Physics and Center for Electro-Optics, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, 373-1 Kusong-dong, Yusong-gu, Taejon 305-701 (Korea)
We report an approach to the control of the longitudinal mode structure in erbium-doped fiber lasers that uses saturable absorbers and the spatial hole-burning effect in the laser cavity. Two- and three-mode fiber lasers are successfully demonstrated, and the laser output properties are compared with theoretical calculations. {copyright} {ital 1996 Optical Society of America.}
