Noise reduction of supercontinua via optical feedback
Abstract
The impact of delayed optical feedback on the supercontinuum noise properties is investigated numerically and experimentally. The supercontinuum is generated by coupling femtosecond laser pulses into a microstructured fiber within a ring resonator, which introduces the optical feedback. The power noise and spectral amplitude noise properties of this feedback system are numerically and experimentally compared with single-pass supercontinuum generation. In a demonstrative experiment via optical feedback the power noise could be reduced by 15 dB and the spectral amplitude noise could be reduced by up to 28 dB.
