Abstract
A novel wavelength tunable self-seeding configuration without classica l wavelength selective elements is presented. A multimode gain-switche d Fabry-Perot laser shows singlemode emission in this configuration. T he extremely simple setup consists only of the laser diode,a fibre cou pler and 1km of dispersion shifted fibre. The lasing wavelength is con trolled by varying the repetition frequency. A sidemode suppression ra tio better than 20dB over a 40nm tuning range is achieved.
