Abstract
A single longitudinal mode (SLM) dual-wavelength switchable erbium-doped fiber laser (DW-EDFL) based on polarization-maintaining fiber Bragg grating Fabry–Perot cavity (PMFBG-FP) cascaded multiple sub-ring cavities (MSCs) is proposed. A PMFBG-FP with a narrow-band transmission peak and MSCs was implemented as an optical filter to achieve stable dual-wavelength laser output and guaranteed SLM status. By stretching the PMFBG, a highly stable dual-wavelength tunable output could be achieved with a maximum tuning interval of 0.17 nm. The optical signal-to-noise-ratio (OSNR) at dual-wavelength lasing was higher than 57 dB, and the optimal wavelength and power fluctuations within 0.5 h were 0.01 nm and 0.79 dB, respectively. Meanwhile, the measured linewidths of each wavelength were 1.55 kHz and 1.65 kHz, respectively. The measured polarization states of the two laser wavelengths were linear and orthogonal, with a degree of polarization (DOP) of nearly 100%.
