Multi-wavelength lasing oscillations in an erbium-doped fiber laser using few-mode fiber Bragg grating.
We propose a simple erbium-doped fiber laser configuration for obtaining multi-wavelength oscillation at room temperature, in which a few-mode fiber Bragg grating was used as the wavelength-selective component. An amplitude variation of 1.6 dB over 120 second period was obtained for three-wavelength oscillation at room temperature, which demonstrates stability of the output power. This multi-wavelength laser can be switched between dual- and triple-wavelength operations by properly adjusting polarization controller in the cavity. This multi-wavelength laser has the advantage of simple configuration, high stability, low cost and stable operation at room temperature.
