Abstract

See full text

In a light amplification system, a fiber-based oscillator, amplifier, and cascaded Raman resonator are coupled together in series. The oscillator output is provided as an input into the amplifier, the amplifier output is provided as a pumping input into the cascaded Raman resonator, and the cascaded Raman resonator provides as an output single-mode radiation at a target wavelength. A loss element is connected between the oscillator and amplifier, whereby the oscillator is optically isolated from the amplifier and cascaded Raman resonator. A filter is coupled between the isolator and the amplifier for filtering out backward-propagating Stokes wavelengths generated in the cascaded Raman resonator. The oscillator is operable within a first power level range, and the amplifier and cascaded Raman resonator are operable within a second power level range exceeding the first power level range.
