ABSTRACT
A narrow-linewidth and low relative intensity noise (RIN) Tm/Ho co-doped fiber laser based on a saturable absorber and self-injection locking was demonstrated for the first time. Utilizing self-injection locking technology, the frequency noise power spectral density is remarkably reduced by more than 17.1â
dB from 1.21 × 106 Hz2/Hz to 7.30 × 103 Hz2/Hz when the frequency is approximately 1 kHz. Furthermore, a laser with a linewidth compressed to a quarter of the original linewidth from 44.386 kHz to 2.850 kHz, a RIN of less than -127.74â
dB/Hz, and an optical signal-to-noise ratio of more than 71.6â
dB can be obtained. Using a delay fiber, the relaxation oscillation peak frequencies move to lower frequencies, from 27.9 kHz to 15.8 kHz. The proposed laser is highly competitive in advanced coherent light detection fields, including coherent Doppler wind lidar, high-speed coherent optical communication, and precise absolute distance coherent measurement.
