Abstract

A wavelength switchable ring cavity thulium-doped fiber laser (TDFL) based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is designed. The MZI is fabricated by cascading single-mode and coreless fibers, and the proposed TDFL can generate single-, double-, and triple-wavelength laser emission. The single-wavelength laser tuning scope is 39.2 nm from 1896.1 to 1935.3 nm, and its power fluctuation is less than 0.665 dB. In the experiment, three different groups double-wavelength and two different groups triple-wavelength lasers can be generated through adjusting PC respectively. For the designed fiber laser, the signal to noise ratio is more than 30 dB.
