Abstract :
A novel multiwavelength switchable SOA-fibre ring laser incorporating digital micromirrors is demonstrated. By controlling the states of micromirrors, the flexible allocation of the wavelength channels and the multiwavelength switching operations is achieved. Up to 12 wavelength channels with 0.8 nm spacing at room temperature are generated.
