Implication

Experimental evaluation demonstrates stable single-mode operation in an erbium-fiber ring laser using a saturable absorber, highlighting its potential for high-precision optical sensing.

Key Points

Design and demonstrate a stable, narrow-linewidth, linearly polarized erbium-doped fiber ring laser that prevents mode hopping using a saturable absorber.
Constructed a fiber ring laser utilizing polarization-maintaining erbium-doped fiber configured as a saturable absorber to suppress mode instability.
Characterized laser output power, polarization extinction ratio, signal-to-noise ratio, relative intensity noise, and spectral linewidth under 94 mW pump power.
Produced ~4.7 mW of output power at 1535 nm with a 94 mW pump power, achieving a polarization extinction ratio of 24.8 dB.
Achieved a signal-to-noise ratio above 45 dB, relative intensity noise below -104 dB/Hz at frequencies over 150 kHz, and a narrow linewidth of less than 1.5 kHz.
