Multiwavelength Fiber Laser Using Erbium-Doped Twin-Core Fiber and Nonlinear Optical Loop Mirror

Multiwavelength Fiber Laser Using Erbium-Doped Twin-Core Fiber and Nonlinear Optical Loop Mirror

A multiwavelength fiber laser based on erbium-doped twin-core fiber (ED-TCF) and nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) is proposed and demonstrated in this paper. The ED-TCF is employed as comb filter and gain medium simultaneously. The NOLM serves as an intensity equalizer. A fiber laser with 8 wave...
