Stable Multi-Wavelength Thulium-Doped Fiber Laser With Two Cascaded Single-Mode-Four-Mode-Single-Mode Fiber Interferometers
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a multi-wavelength thulium-doped fiber laser using two cascaded single-mode-four-mode-single-mode (SFS) fiber interferometers and a 150-m-long highly nonlinear fiber. The transmission properties of SFS fiber interferometers with two different four-mode fiber...

| description | We propose and experimentally demonstrate a multi-wavelength thulium-doped fiber laser using two cascaded single-mode-four-mode-single-mode (SFS) fiber interferometers and a 150-m-long highly nonlinear fiber. The transmission properties of SFS fiber interferometers with two different four-mode fiber (FMF) lengths are analyzed theoretically. The interferometer with a longer FMF is used to select specific wavelengths, and the one with a shorter FMF is used to stimulate more laser lines. By adjusting the polarization controller and increasing the pump power, the number of output laser channels and the wavelength spacings can be changed and switched. By selecting the proper length of the FMFs, 31 lasing lines are achieved with covering a wavelength range of ~22 nm. The power fluctuation and the wavelength drift of the 31-wavelength operation for the proposed fiber laser are within 0.706 dB and 0.02 nm, respectively. |
