Patent 7616667 was granted and assigned to National Taiwan University of Science and Technology on November, 2009 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A broadband fiber laser provides a lasing cavity including a reflective mirror and at least one fiber Bragg grating for further providing a lasing signal to resonate and be amplified therein. Alternatively, the wavelength of the fiber laser can be either fixed or tunable by varying the central wavelength of the fiber Bragg grating and/or by adjusting the switching status of an optical switch pair.
