摘要
We report a novel multi-wavelength laser source based on hybrid gain medium, with a semiconductor optical amplifier and erbium doped fiber amplifier, and a double-ring structure. More than 60 lines with more than 50 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) have been achieved in our setup. The wavelength interval between the wavelengths is similar to 0.32nm. The 3dB spectral width of each lasing line is similar to 0.019nm. The laser can be tuned from similar to 1526 nm to similar to 1562 nm by adjusting the loss in the cavity.
