摘要
A simple configuration to perform wavelength switching in an actively mode-locked fiber ring laser is demonstrated in this letter. An Fabry-Perot laser diode was used as a modulator and a HiBi fiber loop mirror was used as a periodic multichannel wavelength filter in the cavity. By setting the channel spacing of the filter properly, wavelength switching in a range of about 10 nm can be achieved by tuning the fiber loop mirror filter. In the wavelength-switched process, the modulation frequency was not required to be changed.
