Abstract

Multiwavelength erbium-doped fiber laser by means of phase modulation in a linear cavity configuration is presented. Stable multiwavelength lasing is achieved by applying any one of the waveforms of sine, square, sawtoothed, and triangular at a suitable frequency between 500 Hz to a few tens of kilohertz to the phase modulator. The output spectral lines power equalization is performed by adjusting the frequency to drive the all-fiber phase modulator and the polarization controller or dc offset voltage of a LiNbO/sub 3/ amplitude modulator, which is incorporated in a polarization-maintaining fiber Lyot-Sagnac filter.
