Abstract
A robust in-fiber tunable acousto-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a taper-shaped sandwich-like fiber structure is proposed and characterized experimentally, based on which tunable dual-wavelength lasers are demonstrated. The fiber structure was prepared by two-step etching methods, which could be used to fabricate either a symmetric structure for a continuous tuning dual-wavelength laser or an asymmetric structure for a switchable one. The proposed structure has advantages of low cost, low driving power, and robustness. The method for preparing the fiber structure is agile, which paves the way for its applications.
