@conference{10902/2351, year = {2007}, month = {7}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/2351}, abstract = {An experimental comparative study between two wide-band wavelength-tunable erbium doped fiber ring lasers (EDFRLs) with the same active fiber length but with two different pumping configuration (forward unidirectional pumping and symmetric bidirectional pumping) is reported in this paper. Both fiber lasers cover almost the whole C-band and L-band with a single setup laser. The signal wavelength can be tuned in a wide range of 60 nm with the two presented lasers. Nevertheless, experimental results verify that a higher output power is obtained with the bidirectional pump configuration.}, publisher = {SPIE Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers}, publisher = {Proceedings of SPIE, 2007, vol. 6619, 66192O}, publisher = {Third European Workshop on Optical Fibre Sensors, Nápoles, 2007}, title = {Comparison between a symmetric bidirectional-pumping and a unidrectional-pumping configurations in an erbium fiber ring laser}, author = {Quintela Incera, María Ángeles and Quintela Incera, Cecilia and Lomer Barboza, Mauro Matías and Madruga Saavedra, Francisco Javier and Conde Portilla, Olga María and López Higuera, José Miguel}, }
