title: Periodic and non-periodic frequency selection in an erbium doped fiber laser by silica microdisk optical cavity filters.
abstract: Integrated silica microdisk resonators can be used to create a variety of very high performance spectral filters. These filters can control the spectral emission of an erbium doped fiber laser. By modifying the number and sizes of the microdisks constituting these filters it is possible to produce single wavelength, periodic multi-frequency and non-periodic multi-wavelength fiber lasers. Channel spacing as low as 0.28 nm and non-periodic four wavelength lasers were demonstrated.
