Self-gain-modulation random distributed feedback Raman fiber laser with switchable repetition rate

Opt Express. 2021 Sep 13;29(19):29857-29863. doi: 10.1364/OE.415967.

Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate a pulsed operation in a random fiber laser operation via self-gain-switching. The pulses have low timing jitter and high average output power. We show that repetition rate switches abruptly while varying the pump power, and introduce a simple formula for oscillation frequencies.
