All fiber nonreciprocal ring laser
Result description
We present an experimental study of nonreciprocal ring laser, which can be operated without any isolator. While linear non-magneto-optical components manifest reciprocal behavior, reciprocity can be broken in nonlinear elements. Here we present the nonreciprocal ring laser with a fiber loop mirror. This turns the laser into a device with single output port only, so that no energy is wasted. Measurement of clock-wise and counter-clock-wise power in the ring cavity of laser indicates pronounced unidirectionality of the power inside the active fiber ring. Counter-clock-wise component was suppressed by 17.5 dB with respect to the clock-wise component. The configuration may be used at wavelengths and/ or powers, where isolators are not easily available
