Abstract

The influence of pump power on the output characteristics of multiwavelength erbium-doped fiber laser, which employs the effect of the intensity-dependent loss induced by a power-symmetric nonlinear optical loop mirror, is investigated. The results of studies show that the multiwavelength output characteristics including the number, the flatness and the spectral region of output wavelength can be controlled by adjusting the pump power. To optimis the multiwavelength operation, a suitable pump power must be chosen for this kind of laser.
