Abstract

A simple scheme of a switchable multi-wavelength and dual-scale soliton fiber laser is proposed by cascading three chirped fiber Bragg gratings (CFBGs). By managing the cavity dispersion and controlling the losses of attenuators, quadruple-wavelength switchable pulses are generated, including one dissipative soliton (DS) and three conventional solitons (CSs). The central wavelength of the DS is 1565 nm with a pulse duration of 12.5 ps which can be compressed to ~571 fs after a 70 m single mode fiber external to cavity. Three CSs are achieved at 1539.5, 1544.5, and 1549.5 nm with pulse durations of 9.6, 8.7, and 8.8 ps, corresponding to the CFBG-based comb spectral filtering. These results demonstrate that the proposed method offers potential opportunities to exploit the flexibly switchable multi-wavelength CS/DS-pulse sources at picosecond and femtosecond scales.
