Switchable multi-wavelength fiber laser based on modal interference

“…Stable multi-wavelength erbium-doped fiber lasers are very attractive sources for many applications such as fiber communication systems, optical instrument testing, optical fiber sensing, and microwave photonic systems. [1][2][3] Especially, a switchable multi-wavelength fiber laser is more attractive, for its output can be switched among the single-, dual-, and multi-wavelengths. [4][5][6] To achieve multi-wavelength lasing, versatile filters as selectors of operation wavelengths have been employed in the laser cavity to maximize the number of stable emission lines.…”

A Stable Dual-wavelength Thulium-doped Fiber Laser at 1.9 μm Using Photonic Crystal Fiber

“…One configuration where dual-wavelength TDFLs operate at 2 μm is considered as an attractive proposition for dual-wavelength laser generation, since most previously reported dual wavelength fiber lasers were operating at the 1.0 μm and 1.55 μm bands. Research efforts associated with this configuration have been additionally driven by an expected broad applicability that includes ranging systems 4 , communication, microwave photonics 5 6 and terahertz generation 7 . Moreover, progress on all-fiber dual wavelength generation from TDFLs is increasingly feasible as 2 μm compatible fiber components become readily available.…”
