Abstract :
A multiple dual-wavelengths erbium-doped fiber laser is demonstrated. It is designed by using a narrowband polarization-maintaining Fabry–PÉrot filter in a ring cavity. More than 30 power equalized dual-wavelengths are achieved in a 10-nm range. The switchability from multiple dual-wavelengths to normal multiple wavelengths laser is also demonstrated experimentally.
