摘要
We propose a wavelength switchable mode-locked fiber laser based on a homemade fiber Lyot filter that is comprised of 18-cm-long polarization maintain fiber, polarizer, and polarization controller. The generation of mode-locked operation originates from the principle of NPR by the specific setup of PC + ISO + PMF and polarizer. Due to the Lyot filter, the central wavelength of mode-locked laser can be switched between 1036.6 nm and 1050.5 nm by modulating the polarization state of polarization controller and pump power. The switchable wavelength intervals were about 13.9 nm. Such a switchable mode-locked fiber laser has various potential applications in pulse fiber laser system. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd
