Probing the dispersive properties of optical fibers with an array of femtosecond-written fiber Bragg gratings
Tommy Boilard, Réal Vallée, Martin Bernier
We propose an efficient method to determine the effective refractive index of step-index optical fibers from the visible to the mid-IR and thus allowing to infer their dispersive p…
A Radiation-Balanced Silica Fiber Amplifier
Jennifer M. Knall, Magnus Engholm, Tommy Boilard +2
We report what we believe to be the first radiation-balanced fiber amplifier - a device that provides optical gain while experiencing no temperature rise. The gain medium is a sili…
Erbium-doped aluminophosphosilicate all-fiber laser operating at 1584 nm
Marie-Pier Lord, Lauris Talbot, Olivier Boily +8
We report on an ytterbium-free erbium-doped aluminophosphosilicate all-fiber laser, producing an output power of 25 W at a wavelength of 1584 nm with a slope efficiency of 30% with…
All-fiber laser pump reflector based on a fs-written VBG
Lauris Talbot, Pascal Paradis, Martin Bernier
We report on the writing of chirped volume Bragg gratings using 400 nm femtosecond pulses and the phase-mask inscription technique in the pure silica inner cladding of the gain fib…
Room temperature fiber laser at 3.92 μm
Frédéric Maes, Vincent Fortin, Samuel Poulain +4
Rare-earth-doped fiber lasers are promising contenders in the development of spectroscopy, free-space communications and countermeasure applications in the 3 - 5 μm spectral region…
