Abstract

Tunable all‐optical wavelength converters have been regarded as key opto‐electronic devices in intelligent next‐generation optical networks. A novel scheme for tunable wavelength conversion, based on cross‐gain modulation (XGM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)‐based fiber‐ring laser, is proposed. Then, theoretical model for this novel scheme is established. Conversion output characteristics are calculated theoretically and measured experimentally under different conditions. The experimental results coincide with the theoretical results. Tunable wavelength conversion at 2.5 and 10 Gb/s with a 40‐nm tuning range are demonstrated experimentally. Experimental and theoretical studies show that this novel scheme is worthy of further investigation. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A Fabry‐Perot filter is realized by inscribing two identical 1 mm uniform Bragg gratings separated by 7.7 mm space in the hydrogen‐loaded photosensitive optical fiber. It is then incorporated with a tunable chirped fiber Bragg grating into a fiber ring cavity. Fourteen single‐wavelength

A stable and tunable S-band erbium-doped fiber (EDF) double-ring laser has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Based on the double-ring configuration, the EDF ring laser exhibits more stable output wavelengths and powers than those of the single-ring. Wide tunable range of 1484-1518 nm, t

## Abstract We propose and demonstrate a novel, all‐fiber and wavelength tunable Er^3+^/Yb^3+^ co‐doped cladding‐pumped fiber‐ring laser, which utilized amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) as a secondary source so that it can operate in L‐band. The lasing threshold can be reduced to 30% by reflect

## Abstract A wavelength‐tunable actively mode‐locked erbium fiber ring laser is demonstrated using an F–P semiconductor as a modulator and a tunable comb filler. Continuous wavelength tuning is enlarged to 6 nm by successively choosing different cavity modes of the F–P LD and tuning the temperatur
