Automated data acquisition system for the study of the characteristics of temporal-spectral evolution in a F8L

For remote data acquisition, the integration of optical and electronic instrumentation systems (OSA, oscilloscope, polarimeter) is proposed, reaching automation through control protocols (TCP/IP). A graphical interface was developed through the LabVIEW virtual environment, using MATLAB to present the results of accumulated spectra and temporal evolutions. Using our automated data acquisition system, we analyze in detail the operating characteristics and stability at the output of a passively mode-locked fiber laser (figure-eight laser, F8L), looking to expand the study on the evolution of the polarization and the behavior of the pulses according to the adjustment of the polarization control plates included in the laser cavity.
