Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose a novel structure of fiber laser to achieve single-frequency and polarization-stable oscillation without using a polarization-maintaining (PM) active fiber. The proposed structure has two stabilization mechanisms: First, the laser has a Fabry-Perot cavity composed of Faraday-rotator mirrors (FRMs) to stabilize the polarization-mode competition. Second, in order to stabilize the longitudinal mode, the laser has an intracavity etalon specially designed to maximize its finesse by removing undesired reflections from the etalon. In the experiment, we construct a fiber laser composed of a non-PM Erbium-doped fiber, FRMs, and an intracavity Fabry-Perot etalon. The polarization-stable and single-frequency operation of the laser is demonstrated.
