Multiwavelength Switchable Erbium-Doped Fiber Ring Laser With a PBS-Based Mach–Zehnder Comb Filter

We propose and demonstrate a multiwavelength switchable fiber ring laser by employing a simple but novel polarization beam splitter (PBS)-based Mach-Zehnder (M-Z) comb filter. The proposed comb filter consists of a rotatable polarizer, a PBS, and a 3-dB fiber coupler. By adjusting the polarization s...
