✦ Synopsis
We report on a tunable neodymium-doped fiber laser using an intracavity lithium niobate-integrated tuner. The device is a low-voltage asymmetric LiNbO Mach᎐Zehnder interferometer working as a tunable spectral filter.
3 Laser emission occurs simultaneously at two wavelengths, s 1088 nm and 0 s 544 nm, due to the nonlinear properties of the crystal. The lasing 2 wavelengths are tuned over ranges of 12 nm in the infrared and 6 nm in the green region with tuning rates of 0.25 and 0.12 nmrV, respectively.
