Abstract
A simple technique to multiply the lasing wavelength in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-based fiber ring laser is proposed and demonstrated, which is based on the utilization of a multiple phase-shifts sampled fiber Bragg grating (FBG). Tunability for the wavelength spacing within all dual-wavelengths has also been demonstrated by changing the positions of phase-shifts. Moreover, more than 20 dual-wavelengths fiber lasers with a 3-dB linewidth of 0.017 nm and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of about 45 dB have been obtained.
