Abstract
Multiwavelength oscillation has been obtained in an erbium-doped fiber lase r. A double-pass optical fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer is employed as a comb filter inside the laser cavity. To reduce the homogeneous linewidth, the erbium-doped optical fiber was immersed in liquid nitrogen. Simultaneou s oscillation of ten wavelengths is observed. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, I nc.
