摘要

The impact of delayed optical feedback on the supercontinuum noise properties is investigated numerically and experimentally. The supercontinuum is generated by coupling femtosecond laser pulses into a microstructured fiber within a ring resonator, which introduces the optical feedback. The power noise and spectral amplitude noise properties of this feedback system are numerically and experimentally compared with single-pass supercontinuum generation. In a demonstrative experiment via optical feedback the power noise could be reduced by 15 dB and the spectral amplitude noise could be reduced by up to 28 dB.
