Abstract

The authors report a medium power spacing tunable multiwavelength fiber laser operating at room temperature. A double‐clad erbium‐ytterbium co‐doped fiber was used to produce high output power. An unpumped polarization‐maintaining fiber and a Lyot‐Sagnac loop filter with multiple segments of polarization‐maintaining fibers were used as a saturable absorber to stabilize the laser wavelengths and tunable filter to tune the separation between lasing wavelengths, respectively. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
