CA 2200569

A fiber laser (26) including a rare-earth doped fiber laser cavity (32) delimited by a pair of reflective elements (28, 30), such as Bragg gratings, is tuned by compressing the cavity (32) and the gratings (28, 30). Because an optical fiber is much stronger under compression than in tension, the laser (26) is tunable over a much broader range than conventional tension/stretching techniques.

Laser à fibres (26) comportant une cavité de fibres (32) dopée par une terre rare délimitée par une paire d'éléments réflecteurs (28, 30) tels que des réseaux de Bragg dont l'accord est obtenu par compression de la cavité (32) et des réseaux (28, 30). La fibre optique étant beaucoup plus résistante à la compression qu'à la traction, le laser (26) peut s'accorder sur une plage beaucoup plus large qu'avec les techniques usuelles de traction/étirement.
