摘要
A single-longitudinal-mode multiwavelength fiber ring laser is proposed and demonstrated. The single-longitudinal-mode operation is realized using a fiber loop mirror with a saturable absorber. The fiber loop mirror acts as a passive self-tracking narrow multiband optical filter. Single-longitudinal-mode multiwavelength lasing is generated by using either a Lyot-Sagnac filter or a fiber grating array.
