Abstract :
An Erbium-Ytterbium co-doped double clad fiber Q-switch wavelength tunable laser based on self Q-switching principle is proposed in a simple ring cavity configuration. This laser doesn’t employ any component like polarization controller, fiber bragg grating, un-pumped fiber section, Mach-Zehnder interferometer and saturable absorber as is usually used to produce Q-switch lasers. This laser is successfully tuned in the range 1535-1550nm by using OTF-320 manually tunable optical filter. We observe a stable Q-switch laser in the range 1535 to 1550nm, with pulse energy of 17nJ at 1445 nm. An increase in repetition rate is observed from 31.53 to 35.64 KHz with increase in the filter wavelength from 1535 to 1550 nm.
