✦ Synopsis

We demonstrate a dual-stage gain-clamped erbium-doped fiber amplifier. The first-stage amplifier consists of a short length of erbium-doped fiber to produce low noise figures. The second-stage is constructed from a counter-propagating ring-laser, in which the signals and the lasing wavelength propagate in the opposite direction. The lasing wavelength is selected via a reflective-type of fiber Bragg grating. The gain-clamping mechanism can be adjusted by either changing the fiber Bragg grating reflectivity or center wavelength. The noise figure penalty is about 1.5 dB for the gain-clamping value from 11 dB to 20.5 dB.

A double-clad erbium/ytterbium-doped fiber laser (EYDFL) is demonstrated using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) as wavelength selective filter in a linear cavity resonator. The effect of the FBG's wavelength on the performance of the EYDFL is also investigated. The slope efficiencies of the EYDFL are obt

## Abstract A simple switchable dual‐wavelength Er‐doped fiber‐ring laser using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) written in high‐birefringence (HiBi) fibers is proposed. Due to the two‐peak reflections with orthogonal polarizations of the FBG, the polarization hole‐burning effect in the cavity is greatl
