Abstract

A multi-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser (MWEDFL) is introduced, which uses highly erbium-doped fiber (EDF) as the gain medium and uses the nonlinear effect of the single mode fiber to suppress the mode competition. In order to obtain higher side mode suppression ratio and flatness, a nonlinear fiber loop mirror is added to the structure. The results show that a stable multi-wavelength laser with 16 lasing wavelengths and a side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) higher than 30dB is obtained.
