Abstract :
An in-fiber modal interferometer is proposed by splicing a section of homemade dual-core dual-core photonic crystal fiber and two segments of single-mode fibers with the air-holes collapsed in the splice regions. With the proposed interferometer as wavelength-selective filter, a room-temperature switchable multi-wavelength fiber laser is proposed and experimentally demonstrated.
