    Mid-infrared wavelength switchable and dual-wavelength random laser output has many potential applications. A polarization-maintaining random fiber Bragg grating (PMRFBG) array based on the photonic localization effect of longitudinal invariant transverse disorder in fiber structure is proposed, which can be used as random feedback of dual-wavelength and wavelength switchable output of random fiber laser (RFL). The random fiber Bragg grating (RFBG) array was designed on the panda-type polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF), and the two center wavelengths were 2 151.60 nm and 2 152.22 nm, respectively. The RFBG array was designed on the bow tie-type PMF, and the two center wavelengths were obtained, which were 2 153.08 nm and 2 153.96 nm, respectively. The RFBG array with a center wavelength of 2 139.27 nm was designed on single-mode fiber (SMF). The length of individual fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and PMRFBG, the refractive index modulation depth, the number of cascaded gratings, and the distance between gratings have different effects on the full width at half maximum (FWHM) and reflectance of the RFBG and PMRFBG array, but not on the central wavelength, as obtained by simulation using the transmission matrix method. The designed PMRFBG array provides theoretical support for the design of the feedback mechanism of RFL.
