Abstract
A novel optical add‐drop multiplexer (OADM) based on the Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) and the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed for the first time to the authors' knowledge. In the structure, the Mach–Zehnder interferometer acts as an optical switch. The principle of the OADM is analyzed in this paper. The OADM can add/drop one of the multi‐input channels or pass the channel directly by adjusting the difference of the two arms of the interferometer. The channel isolation is more than 20 dB. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 45: 156–158, 2005; Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).

## Abstract We proposed and demonstrated a room‐temperature multiwavelength Yb‐doped fiber ring laser with high stability based on a Mach‐Zehnder interferometer by exploiting spatial hole burning and polarization hole burning effects, from which stable eight lasing wavelengths is obtained. The numb
