Abstract

This research investigates and demonstrates a unique configuration of a multiwavelength fiber ring laser covering far L and U bands by employing a booster optical amplifier (BOA), a stabilizer beam, and a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) in a dual cavity arrangement. By reducing the loss in the central cavity from 10 to 0 dB, the number of generated lasing wavelengths can be increased from 15 to 30, respectively. The observed side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) for most of these lasing wavelengths is larger than 60 dB. The generated lasing lines are relatively stable where peak power and wavelength variations of within 1 dB and 0.08 nm are observed.
