We experimentally demonstrated a new structure of a multiwavelength semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) ring laser based on a fiber Sagnac loop filter that can generate up to 25 stable output lasing wavelengths at room temperature. By varying the length of a polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber wit

Abstract
Stable simultaneous multiwavelength lasing is demonstrated with a novel fiber‐ring laser incorporating a semiconductor optical amplifier. Band‐pass comb filtering is constructed in the ring cavity with the combination of a wideband Fabry–Perot comb filter and a bandpass filter. Ten lasing lines with a fixed wavelength spacing of 1.6 nm are implemented and the multiwavelength lasing ranges can be flexibly chosen. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We present a novel system design that can generate the optimized wavelength-tunable optical pulse streams from an uncooled gain-switched Fabry-Perot semiconductor laser using an optical amplifier as external light source. The timing jitter of gain-switched laser has been reduced from about 3 ps to 6
