Investigation of O-Band Brillouin Fiber Laser Flatness at Different SOA Location
Abstract: In this paper, we
present the different amplitude flatness of O-band Brillouin fiber laser
resulting from placing the O band semiconductor optical amplifier at different
locations. Stable and flatter peaks of multiwavelength Brillouin were generated
by placing the SOA after the nonlinear medium instead of placing it before the
nonlin-ear medium. The maximum number of Stokes are also differs between both
configuration where the maximum number of stokes achieved was 12 generated by
1320 nm Brillouin pump with spacing channels of 12.72 GHz.
