Abstract

Room temperature multi-wavelength erbium-doped fiber ring laser in the C-band is presented. Homogeneous gain broadening of erbium-doped fiber (EDF) is suppressed by adding a frequency shifter in the ring cavity. The multi-wavelength operation is demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally. High-power and extremely flat multi-wavelength output is achieved by optimizing the total laser cavity loss, pump power and fiber length, filters and concentration of the EDF.
