A multi-wavelength fiber laser which is based on a Lyot filter is experimentally demonstrated. A combination of four-wave mixing in a highly nonlinear fiber and Lyot filter mechanism in the laser cavity is able to generate multi-wavelength with relatively high extinction ratio (ER). At the input current of 100mA, six laser lines with ER more than 5 dB are successfully generated. The wavelength spacing for the multi-wavelength is 0.15nm, corresponding to the characteristics of the Lyot filter used.

Multi-wavelength fiber laser based on Brillouin scattering in optical fiber has the potential of application in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system. To enhance the performance of the fiber lasers, researchers proposed usages of erbium, or Raman amplification techniques. In an earlier work, it was reported that extracting residual Raman pump out of the laser cavity improves the performance of a multi-wavelength Raman fiber laser. In this paper, we proposed a setup utilizing the residual Raman pump to pump an erbium-doped fiber in multi-wavelength Brillouin-Raman fiber laser. Results show that the additional erbium-doped fiber is capable of amplifying the propagating Brillouin Stokes by more than 15-dB. This in turn helps in achieving lower stimulated Brillouin threshold and subsequently allow for higher number of Brillouin Stokes lines to be generated.

A tunable multi-wavelength fiber laser is proposed and demonstrated based on two main elements: an erbium-doped fiber ring cavity and compact intermodal fiber structure. The modal fiber interferometer is fabricated using the cost-effective arc splice technique between conventional single-mode fiber and microfiber. This optical fiber structure acts as a wavelength filter, operated in reflection mode. When the refractive index and temperature variations are applied over the fiber filter, the ring laser cavity provides several quad-wavelength laser spectra. The multi-wavelength spectra are tuned into the C-band with a resolution of 0.05 nm. In addition, the spectra are symmetric with minimal power difference between the lasing modes involved, and the average of the side mode suppression ratio is close to 37 dB. This laser offers low-cost implementation, low wavelength drift, and high power stability, as well as an effect of easy controllability regarding tuned multi-wavelength.
