“…In 1994, Takahashi et al [29] demonstrated a multifrequency ring EDFL oscillating simultaneously over four wavelengths spaced 1.6 nm apart by using an 8 x 8 AWG and four EDFAs. Later, Miyazaki and his co-worker [30] showed a ring EDFL that lases on 15 lines separated by 1.6nm. Again, the laser consisted of 15 EDFAs placed between two 16 x 16 AWGs.…”

A multiwavelength erbium-doped Wber ring laser is obtained using a spatial mode beating Wlter, utilizing a multimode optical Wber sample into a single-mode optical Wber ring cavity. The simultaneous laser emission is studied varying the spectral period of the Wlter. Up to six laser wavelengths inside the erbium gain band are simultaneously observed.Keywords erbium-doped optical ® ber, optical ® ber ampli® ers, optical ® ber lasers, multiwavelength lasers, ring lasers, optical ® ber ® lters Multiwavelength lasers are potentially useful as sources in optical communication systems using wavelength division multiplexing. Moreover, they may ® nd uses in component testing, sensors, etc. Instead of using an array of lasers, it is sometimes easier to develop a multiple wavelength source using a simple gain medium, provided it is possible to overcome or eliminate crosstalk between diOE erent wavelengths. The desired features of this type of multiwavelength sources are a dense line-spacing, a broad bandwidth, and a¯at power spectrum, although the speci® c characteristics vary depending on the application. The power level is not excessively important because it can be ampli® ed afterwards. In the third telecommunications window, the erbium-doped ® ber is expected as the most suitable gain medium due to the lonḡ uorescence lifetime, low crosstalk, and high stability. On the other hand, the study of a multiwavelength erbium-doped ® ber laser is also very interesting because it can provide extensive information about energy levels, laser transitions, and broadening mechanisms of erbium ion.
