Abstract

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM)- based linear cavity tunable multi-wavelength fiber laser. The NOLM, providing intensity-dependent transmissivity, can effectively alleviate the mode competition so that the multi-wavelength lasing can be achieved at room temperature. By adjusting the polarization controllers (PCs), the pro- posed laser can generate multi-wavelength output. Moreover, the number of the lasing wavelength can be adjusted flexibly from 11 to 13 with a wavelength spacing of 0.4 nm.
