Article Abstract

Metal thiophosphites (CrPX) (X = S and Se), emerging layered metal chalcogenophosphate materials, have found extensive utility in the fields of advanced electronic devices, magnetic technologies, and electrochemical systems. However, their applications in single-frequency fiber lasers have been relatively limited. Here, liquid phase exfoliation technology is used to exfoliate the CrPX into few-layered samples. Subsequently, we explored the application of CrPX-based saturable absorbers (CrPX-SA) by precisely depositing CrPX nanosheets onto the surface of D-shaped fibers. This led to the successful creation of two stable single-frequency fiber lasers (SFFLs) based on CrPS and CrPSe with center wavelengths of 1550.068 nm and 1550.092 nm, respectively. The linewidth of CrPSe was tested and determined to be roughly 375 Hz, which is the narrowest ever value attained for an SFFL based on its structure, and its signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was 74.17 dB. The maximum output power of each oscillator was 0.796 mW and 0.963 mW, and their corresponding power fluctuations were 2.5% and 1.4%, respectively.

This paper presents a comprehensive optimization of tuning capability and noise characteristics in 1018-nm distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) single-frequency fiber lasers. By implementing an advanced doped fiber design and a dual-stage precision thermal control system, for the first time, we demonstrate a fusion-spliced DBR fiber laser incorporating an 8-mm Yb-doped fiber that achieves >2 nm mode-hop-free continuous tuning across an extended temperature range of -20 °C to 175 °C. The integration of a piezoelectric transducer (PZT) tuning mechanism enables rapid frequency adjustment with a 10-GHz tuning bandwidth.

The joint co-frequency co-time full duplex (CCFD)- phased array technology offers high spectral efficiency, large communication capacity, low system latency, strong reliability, and low complexity. It holds broad application prospects in wireless communication, military communication, unmanned aerial vehicles, and satellite communication. Aiming at the self-interference cancellation (SIC) and delay requirements in CCFD-phased array systems, an all-optical SIC method with delay down-conversion is proposed in this paper.

We demonstrate a single-polarization single-frequency Yb-doped fiber laser operating at 1156 nm using a 10-m-long unpumped Yb-doped fiber (YDF) as a dynamic saturable absorber (SA). Leveraging spatial hole-burning-induced refractive index modulation, a self-adaptive Bragg grating with sub-MHz bandwidth is formed, enabling ultranarrow linewidth single-longitudinal-mode lasing. The linear cavity design with bidirectional pumping achieves an output power of 20.
