Abstract :
Switchable dual-wavelength fiber laser with photonic crystal fiber (PCF) Sagnac loop and broadband fiber Bragg grating (FBG) at room temperature is demonstrated. By adjusting the polarization controller appropriately, the laser can be switched between stable single-and dual-wavelength lasing operations by exploiting polarization hole burning and spectral hole burning effects.
