Switchable dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser based on polarization-maintaining fiber Sagnac loop mirror and fiber Bragg gratings

Ou Xu and Suchun Feng

A switchable dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser is proposed and experimentally demonstrated, which is constructed by a polarization-maintaining fiber Sagnac loop mirror (PMF-SLM) and two FBGs with different wavelengths. Wavelength switching operation is achieved by properly adjusting the polarization controller (PC) in the PMF-SLM. Stable single- or dual-wavelength lasing output can be realized. The maximum amplitude variation for every lasing wavelength is less than 1 dB, and the signal-to-amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) ratio is about 35 dB.
