Abstract
The concept of a tunable erbium-doped fiber ring laser based on a refl ection Mach-Zehnder interferometer is presented. The principle of oper ation is demonstrated with a fiber version of the interferometer which gave a tuning range of 39 nm. With current electro-optic devices, hig h speed tuning should be possible.
