Dual-color distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser with simultaneous emission at 1.06 μm and 1.55 μm wavebands
Abstract:
A dual-wavelength fiber laser is proposed by the use of Er/Yb co-doped active fiber and a pair of novel Bragg-grating reflectors. The Bragg grating presents strong reflections of both third and second harmonics in accordance with the gain of ytterbium and erbium ion, respectively, enabling the laser emitted at 1.06 μm and 1.55 μm wavebands simultaneously with a short linear cavity structure. Adjusting reflectivity of the harmonics in the grating can influence the intensity contrast of the two lasing signals. Optimization on the compactness and brightness of the laser is achieved by adapting the harmonic wavelengths with the optimal gain windows of the ytterbium and erbium ions.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
