Abstract

In this paper, based on a linear polarized, white noise signal (WNS) phase modulated all fiber amplifier, the self-pulsing characteristics of polarization maintaining (PM) amplifier at the different phase modulation parameters with the same linewidth are analyzed experimentally. It is demonstrated that the self-pulsing threshold is closely related to the details of the modulation spectrum affected by the frequency and the signal power of the WNS, and it is near impossible to calculate by the linewidth. Besides, by suppressing the self-pulsing effect, we obtain an output of 2009 W with a linewidth of 22 GHz. The polarization extinction ratio (PER) is larger than 15 dB, and the M²is lower than 1.2.
