Abstract

Highly uniform multiwavelength erbium-doped fiber ring laser with an intra-cavity sine phase modulator is demonstrated. The flat output spectrum is achieved by optimizing the cavity structure, modulation amplitude and frequency of the sine phase modulator. 15 lasing lines with wavelength spacing of 0.9 nm appear simultaneously and stably in power differences less than 2 dB and the side mode suppression ratio higher than 32 dB. In addition, the proposed cavity can support unidirectional operation without optical isolators. The output power difference of about 20 dB is realized between counterclockwise and clockwise direction, which is almost independent of the pump power and lasing wavelengths.
