Abstract
We demonstrate a tunable thulium-doped fiber ring laser wherein a sing le fused coupler acts simultaneously as the wavelength-division multip lexing for pump radiation, a lasing wavelength selective element, and output mirror. Temperature tuning of up to 2 nm/degrees C over a range of 40 mm and polarization tuning of over 100 nn within the spectral r ange from 1810 to 1930 mn have been obtained.
