The optical spectrum of mode-locked lasers can exhibit multiple peaks resulting from different mechanisms such as modulation instability, dispersive waves (DWs), and coupling between continuous waves (CWs) and DWs. The latter was recently reported in a mode-locked fiber laser. Here we show that besides the coupling between single-wavelength CW and DWs, dual-wavelength CWs can also couple with DWs giving rise to quite different spectral peaks in a mode-locked fiber laser. In particular, we find that the sidebands of one CW can couple with the other CW, leading to an enhancement of the CWs.

In the last decade, substantial progress has been made to improve the performance of optical gyroscopes for inertial navigation applications in terms of critical parameters such as bias stability, scale factor stability, and angular random walk (ARW). Specifically, resonant fiber optic gyroscopes (RFOGs) have emerged as a viable alternative to widely popular interferometric fiber optic gyroscopes (IFOGs). In a conventional RFOG, a single-wavelength laser source is used to generate counter-propagating waves in a ring resonator, for which the phase difference is measured in terms of the resonant frequency shift to obtain the rotation rate.

Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are widely used in stress and temperature sensing due to their small size, light weight, high resistance to high temperatures, corrosion, electromagnetic interference, and low cost. In recent years, various structural enhancements and sensitization to FBGs have been explored to improve the performance of ocean temperature and depth sensors, thereby enhancing the accuracy and detection range of ocean temperature and depth data. This paper reviews advancements in temperature, pressure, and dual-parameter enhancement techniques for FBG-based sensors.

Fast-neutron reactors are an important representative of Generation IV nuclear reactors, and due to the unique structure and material properties of fast reactor fuel, traditional mechanical cutting methods are not applicable. In contrast, laser cutting has emerged as an ideal alternative. However, ensuring the stability of optical fibers and laser cutting heads under high radiation doses, as well as maintaining cutting quality after irradiation, remains a significant technical challenge.

The emerging thermoplastic composite material PEKK exhibits superior thermal stability compared to PEEK. In this work, CF/PEKK laminates were fabricated using laser-assisted heating in AFP, and the effects of repass treatment on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the laminates were compared. The results show that after a single repass treatment, the tensile strength of the laminates increased by 28.
