Abstract :
A novel compact, wavelength-switchable, single-mode DBR fibre laser configuration is demonstrated. Stable single-line or wavelength-switching operations are achieved, by controlling the cavities´ resonance mode conditions through a simple strain mechanism, without pump power limitations.
