摘要：

We report operation of a single-longitudinal-mode WDM-channel-selectable fiber laser. The use of a tunable fiber Bragg grating and a linewidth narrowing saturable absorption filter in conjunction with an intracavity etalon enabled single-frequency emission and discretely tunable WDM channel operation without the need for external wavelength locking modules. Side mode suppression ratios (SMSRs) > 50 dB have been demonstrated with similar to 3 dBm individual channel output powers for 8 channel (Deltaf = 50 GHz) operation of this WDM source.
