Abstract
In this letter, L‐band multiwavelength operation in an erbium‐doped fiber ring laser (EDFRL) is achieved by using a tunable Fabry–Perot etalon as the intracavity comb filter. It is found that, for a ring cavity, the gain spectrum can be controlled, and the flattened gain spectrum at the threshold can be obtained by optimizing the cavity Q‐factor. A maximum of six stable lines with a spacing of 1.3 nm in the wavelength range near 1590 nm has been produced at room temperature. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

## Abstract We propose and experimentally demonstrate a multiwavelength erbium‐doped fiber ring laser using a fiber Sagnac loop filter. The fiber Sagnac loop filter served as the wavelength selection component within the ring laser cavity. By carefully tuning the setting of the polarization control
## Abstract A ring erbium‐doped fiber (EDF) laser with an additional EDF saturable absorber operating in the L‐band can produce dual‐wavelength optical bistability. The bistabilities of the two wavelengths evolves in antiphase; the dual‐wavelength bistable behavior can be controlled by the cavity l
A short wavelength band erbium-doped fiber laser (S-band EDFL) is demonstrated utilizing a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in unidirectional ring configuration. The amplification in S-band is achieved using an erbium-doped fiber with depressed cladding, which suppressed gains at longer wavelength. The las
This paper presents an ultra wideband tunable silicabased erbium doped fiber ring laser (EDFRL) that can be continuously tuned in S and C+L bands from 1475 to 1619 nm.
