Abstract
We describe an all-stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) fiber-based setup for the generation, amplification, and isolation of frequency components from an optical frequency comb (OFC). The cascaded SBS–OFC is obtained by utilizing pump and Stokes power recycling techniques. A total of>15comb lines within a 45 dB bandwidth, having an average power of 16 dBm, is observed in the 1550 nm wavelength region of operation. By implementing a polarizer–analyzer setup exploiting the weak birefringence in silica fibers, we amplified and isolated the first Stokes component of the generated comb. The isolated component at 1550.03 nm was amplified by≈55dB. In order to verify the isolation of a single comb line, the SBS–OFC is intensity modulated using sinusoidal signals of different frequencies, and the modulation is detected after the comb line isolation. We also observe that with the increase in Brillouin pump power during comb line isolation, the spontaneous Brillouin noise acts as a limitation to the selective amplification process.
