Abstract
A parallel-type, pump-shared (PTPS) scheme linear-cavity laser array (LCLA)
is proposed and numerically studied. Power-equalization of multiwavelength
fiber lasers can be achieved by varying the pumping power ratio, length of
the erbium-doped fiber or reflectivity of grating reflector for the indivi
dual channels. Before and after power-equalization, the maximum power varia
tion among seven equal-spaced channels, ranging from 1530 to 1560 nm, is 5.
8 and 0.2 dB, respectively. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reser
