✦ Synopsis

A birefringent and highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber is employed in an Erbium-doped fiber ring laser, which can operate with dual-wavelength lasing or single-wavelength lasing. Both stable dual-wavelength lasing and tunable single-wavelength lasing are achieved by adjusting a polarization controller in the ring cavity. The experimental results show that the output of the proposed fiber ring laser is rather stable at two different operation modes.

## Abstract Multiple mode instabilities in erbium‐doped fiber laser are undesirable due to the large amplitude noise in the laser. One scheme is proposed to suppress this kind of instabilities by inserting a highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber in the ring cavity. The results show that the nonli
