Abstract

We report the experimental synchronous pulse generation in a multicavity fiber laser system with two Erbium-doped fiber laser cavities. We have demonstrated that through the evanescent fields interaction between one cavity with active modulation and other one in continuous wave it is possible to generate more intense pulses in both cavities. Moreover, the synchronous pulse generation between cavities is achieved with an appropriate selection of pump intensity, modulation frequency and coupling ratio. We found that the pulse intensity is 2.5 times greater and the pulse duration lowers than a single Erbium-doper fiber laser. Furthermore, by means of the synchronous diagram we determined the synchronization strength in temporal pulse emission between cavities.
