Abstract
Four distributed feedback fiber lasers with dual-wavelength operations were studied experimentally in detail. The laser characteristics of these distributed feedback fiber lasers (DFB-FLs) were investigated. The operation conditions for the dual-wavelength output are analyzed and presented. Through this study, the guidance of the design and fabrication of some dual-wavelength distributed feedback fiber lasers are provided.
