Abstract
Four different widely tunable polarization-stable lasers, each based o n nonpolarization maintaining erbium-doped fiber are presented. We exp erimentally examine the effect of output coupling on laser performance , and compare the output power measurements with theoretical predictio ns. We also discuss the relative costs and construction factors of the four lasers.
