Abstract
An all-fiber ring laser geometry in the form of a nonreciprocal S-ring is presented and demonstrated. Its operation is demonstrated to allow unidirectional laser oscillation. The intensity ratio for laser oscil lation in each of the two directions were measured, and found to be la rger than 150. This value is the largest such ratio obtained for a rin g laser without Faraday isolators.
