Abstract
Stable, dual-wavelength operation of a diode-pumped, passively mode-lo cked, ytterbium-erbium ''figure-of-eight'' (F8L) fibre laser has been achieved by including tunable filters and/or fibre gratings in the las er cavity. The centre wavelengths of the two channels were independent ly tunable when gain compensation was provided in the cavity. Bandwidt h-limited solitons could be generated.
