Abstract :
We demonstrated a fiber laser with using an optical circulator including a fiber loop mirror. Optimal operation parameters for lasing are investigated and determined. The microwave modulation frequency responses of this fiber laser are also presented. This fiber ring laser can be applied for carrying microwave subcarriers in optical communication systems
