The Fiber Bragg Grating (PMFBG/SMFBG) for 980nm pump laser is written by UV light within the PM980 polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) or SM980 single mode fiber (SMF) core. The PMFBG/SMFBG as pigtail is connected to the 980nm pump laser diode, providing external cavity feedback, which make the pump laser wavelength locked at the center wavelength of PMFBG/SMFBG. Due to the low temperature sensitivity of FBG, the stability of 980nm pump laser wavelength can be greatly improved, and the temperature control of 980nm pump laser is unnecessary. As the PMFBG/SMFBG narrows the bandwidth of the 980nm pump laser output, the ratio of the output power within the erbium ion absorption band can be increased, thereby increasing the efficiency and the
stability of the EDFA pump.
Feaures
• High-precision control of the reflective wavelength,within ±0.25nm
• High-precision controlof thereflectivity, within ± 0.5%
• Side lobe suppression ratio up to -25 ~-30dB by apodization, better than the industry standard
• PMFBG is better than SMFBG at extinction ratio and locking of output wavelength. With the enhancement of EDFA power, the output spectrum of the pumped laser using PMFBG is more stable, which makes the gain of EDFA more stable
Applications
PMFBG/SMFBG for 980nm pump laser is used for locking of output wavelength. Due to the low temperature sensitivity of FBG, the stability of output wavelength and the efficiency of 980nm pump laser can be greatly improved.
