Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of fiber laser technology applied in the fields of coherent optical communication, laser ranging, fiber optic sensing, Doppler laser speed measuring radar, etc., and specifically relates to a single-frequency fiber laser with high tuning precision and wide frequency tunable. Background technique
[0002] Single-frequency fiber laser refers to the output in the form of a single longitudinal mode of vibration in the laser cavity, which is characterized by a very narrow laser spectral linewidth, up to 10 -8 nm, which is 2 orders of magnitude narrower than the line width of the best existing narrow line width semiconductor DFB laser, and 5 to 6 orders of magnitude narrower than the line width of the DWDM signal light source in the current optical communication network. The narrow linewidth can ensure that the laser has very good coherence characteristics, and its coherence length can reach hundreds of kilometers. Due to ...
