@conference{10902/2385, year = {2008}, month = {5}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/2385}, abstract = {An erbium doped fiber ring laser (EDFRL) that incorporates four non-adiabatic concatenated single-mode fiber tapers (acting as tunable filter in the laser cavity) is presented. These concatenated fiber tapers integrates a filter with a narrower band-pass and a higher modulation depth than a single taper. The tuning of this filter was implemented applying a controlled perturbation in the fiber taper. The proposed laser architecture was successfully demonstrated in the laboratory in which a tuning range of 20.8nm (1544.5nm-1565.3nm) were measured.}, organization = {This work was supported in part by the Spanish Government TEC2004-05936-C02, TEC2005-08218-C02-02 and TEC2007-67987-CO2-01 projects}, publisher = {SPIE Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers}, publisher = {Proceedings of SPIE, 2008, vol. 7004, 700453}, publisher = {19th International Conference on Optical Fibre Sensors, Perth, 2008}, title = {Tunable fiber laser using concatenated non-adiabatic single-mode fiber tapers}, author = {Quintela Incera, María Ángeles and Quintela Incera, Antonio and Becue, Nicolás and Lázaro Urrutia, José Miguel and Anabitarte García, Francisco and López Higuera, José Miguel}, }
