Stabilized dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser with a single-longitudinal mode by utilizing fiber Bragg grating and a compound-ring filter

Abstract

In this investigation, a stable single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber (EDF) multiring laser by utilizing fiber Bragg grating is proposed and investigated. Here, to accomplish a SLM output, the multiring cavity of the proposed EDF laser is employed for suppressing the densely multilongitudinal mode. Hence, the output powers and wavelengths of the proposed dual-wavelength EDF laser are 7.0 and 6.7 dBm and 1531.72 and 1537.32 nm, respectively. In addition, the maximum output stabilities of the power and wavelength in the proposed laser are also executed and discussed.
