    2 μm/3 μm laser has been extensively applied to the fields of medical treatment, communication and detection. In this paper, the genetic algorithm is innovatively used to solve the fiber power transmission equation, which improves the accuracy of simulation results. According to the simulation results, a dual-wavelength Er3+:ZBLAN fiber laser based on composite Fabry-Perot (F-P) cavity was designed and constructed. A stable continuous dual-wavelength output was obtained with a pump power of 50 W. The center wavelengths were 2.79 μm and 1.59 μm, respectively, the maximum output powers were 8.19 W and 2.8 W, respectively, the slope efficiencies were 17.7% and 7.17%, respectively, and the stability of the wavelengths in 2 h were 4.6% and 3.1%, respectively.
