摘要
We proposed and demonstrated a new concept of switchable multiwavelength erbium-doped fiber ring laser with a multisection high-birefringence fiber loop mirror (HiBi-FLM). The HiBi-FLM results in the laser operating on different allowed wavelengths. The wavelength switching can be achieved by modifying the reflection spectrum of HiBi-FLM through two polarization controllers. The experiment demonstrates the switchable lasing operation within the random combination of three wavelengths, as well as with a large (similar to 40 dB) output signal to background noise ratio.
