Single-longitudinal mode lasers are widely used as light sources in coherent lidars due to their narrow linewidth and long coherence length. However, we observed spontaneous frequency drift a single-longitudinal laser, accompanied by the oscillation of second mode, which could compromise laser’s performance. In this study, recorded resulting power fluctuations. By analyzing centroid positions laser spot, confirmed that originated from changes optical path To address issue, designed an electro-optic Fabry–Perot etalon. When 400 V voltage was applied, returned operation within 15 s. The etalon induced variation 0.05 μm. This work provides new insights into application crystals for stabilizing frequencies.

We demonstrate single-mode microdisk lasers in the telecom band with ultralow thresholds on erbium-ytterbium co-doped thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN). The active was fabricated high-Q factors by photolithography-assisted chemomechanical etching. Thanks to co-doping providing high optical gain, loss nanostructuring, and excitation of coherent polygon modes, which suppresses multimode lasing allows spatial mode overlap between pump laser emission operating at 1530 nm wavelength observed an threshold, under a 980-nm-band pump. threshold measured as low 1 µW, is one order magnitude smaller than best results previously reported TFLN microlasers. conversion efficiency reaches 4.06 × 10-3, also highest value

Throughout the development of single frequency fiber lasers (SFFLs), gain is one most important components, which can greatly affect quality SFFLs. Here, we fabricated an Er: YAG crystal-derived silica (EYDSF) using a CO2 laser-heating drawing technique, with high coefficient 1.74 dB/cm. Employing EYDSF only 10 cm as medium, constructed continuous-wave ring-cavity SFFL all-fiber system. An ultra-narrow linewidth <660 Hz was achieved harnessing homemade low-concentration Er-doped saturable absorber. Importantly, output power up to 32.7 mW at 1560 nm. What's more, no multi longitudinal mode or hopping were found in 2 hours, and fluctuation <0.63% 8 hours. Furthermore, relative intensity noise lower -145 dB/Hz frequencies over 1 MHz. The results indicate that has desirable performance power, linewidth, stability noise, serves prospective candidate applied coherent optical communications, high-precision sensors, laser radars other advanced fields.
