Abstract
We propose a new approach to realize switchable mode operation in a few-mode erbium-doped fiber laser. The ring fiber laser structure is constructed with a core-offset splicing between single-mode fiber and dual-mode fiber. Stable operating on the fundamental mode laser and second-order mode laser individually or simultaneously is realized by appropriately adjusting the state of the polarization controller and bending status of the few-mode fiber Bragg grating. The narrow 3 dB linewidth less than 0.02 nm and high optical signal to noise ratio more than 42 dB are obtained for both modes in either separate laser or simultaneous laser operating conditions.
