Abstract
A Sagnac interferometer has been used in the ring cavity to produce a multiwavelength fiber laser. The results show that an elliptical‐core erbium‐doped fiber can produce more stable lasing lines compared to a normal erbium‐doped fiber. The principle of operation is based on polarization‐dependent gain phenomena in erbium‐doped fiber. The number of lasing lines and stability may be adjusted by using a polarization controller to control the polarization of the wave inside the cavity. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We propose and demonstrate a tunable multiwavelength erbium-doped fiber laser based on a polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PM-PCF) Sagnac loop filter. Stable, room-temperature operation is obtained by employing a nonlinear optical loop mirror. At a central wavelength of 1563.000 nm, w
We propose and demonstrate experimentally a simply multiple-wavelength erbium compound ring fiber laser employing a Sagnac interferometer with erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and Fabry-Perot laser diode (FP-LD). The proposed laser has the advantage of simply structure and easy fabrication, lower
In this letter, we propose a novel multiwavelength fiber laser based on fiber loop mirror formed by a high-birefringence fiber, a polarisation controller, and a 3 dB directional coupler. By setting the polarisation controller as half-wave-plate, the fiber loop mirror acts as a polarisation-independe
A multi-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser based on a Sagnac loop filter which is formed by a birefringent and highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber (PCF), a 3-dB optical coupler and two polarization controllers is proposed.

## Abstract A Sagnac loop filter based on the birefringence of a photonic crystal fiber is used to demonstrate an all‐fiber multi‐wavelength Raman fiber laser. Stable lasing at multi‐wavelengths is achieved and the power distribution among different lasing wavelengths can be tuned by adjusting the
