## Abstract A reconfigurable multiwavelength erbium‐doped fiber laser, using two multimode fiber Bragg gratings (MFBGs), is presented. Two MFBGs in L‐band are cascaded to form two overlapping resonant cavities. Various configurations of four‐, three‐, or two‐wavelength lasing are demonstrated exper

Abstract
This paper reports on a fiber laser constructed with an erbium‐doped fiber, which has an elliptical core that is single‐moded along the minor axis and multimoded along the major axis. The laser can simultaneously emit several stable lines at room temperatures. The maximum number of lasing lines obtained depends on the number of modes supported by the erbium‐doped fiber in the cavity. The separation between the lasing lines depends on the fiber birefringence. The principle of operation is based on the anisotropic‐gain effects in a polarization‐maintaining fiber. The stability of the lasing lines, in the presence of anisotropic‐gain effects in a polarization‐maintaining fiber, has been explored. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## 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
