Intracavity interrogation of an array of fiber Bragg gratings [PDF]

, 2020
In this work, we explore the interrogation of an array of fiber Bragg gratings as part of a laser cavity. A semiconductor optical amplifier in a sigma-shaped fiber cavity provides gain and is gated periodically at a rate that matches the roundtrip time ...
