Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for stabilizing the wavelength and the power of an er-doped fiber light source, and the related light source. The mean wavelength change which is caused by the temperature to the er-doped fiber light source is compensated for by controlling the drive current of a pumping source; meanwhile, a light splitting detector and an electronic control variable optical attenuator are connected to the rear portion of a light source isolator, the change of the power of the output light is detected through the light splitting detector, the change quantity is fed back to a single-chip microcomputer, stability of the power of the light is achieved by controlling the variable optical attenuator through the single-chip microcomputer, the method and the device meet the requirement of the wide-spectrum light source for the high mean wavelength, and stability of the output power of the light source is ensured. According to the scheme, the method and the device can be used within a full-temperature range.
