Erbium-doped fiber triple-ring laser configuration with single-longitudinal-mode dual-wavelength output

In this investigation, we propose and demonstrate a stabilized single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser triple-ring cavity. Here, two fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are used inside the fiber cavity to generate dual-wavelength output. In order to complete the SLM output, the triple-ring configuration is utilized for suppressing the densely multi-longitudinal mode (MLM). The output powers and wavelengths of  −8.4 and  −8.5 dBm and 1535.76 and 1543.28 nm are obtained in the proposed dual-wavelength EDF laser, respectively. Moreover, the stability performances of output power and wavelength in the proposed EDF laser are also discussed. (paper)
