Abstract
A multiwavelength comb is obtained from Er3+- and Nd3+-doped fiber las ers by incorporation of a section of multimode optical fiber into an o therwise single-mode fiber ring cavity. This combination of fiber type s acts as a wavelength-dependent filter in the laser through spatial m ode beating between the LP01 and LP11 modes in the multimode fiber.
