摘要：
A stably and widely tunable single-longitudinal-mode dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser is investigated for the generation of a tunable optical beat frequency. The lasing wavelength spacing is widely controlled in a range from 3.46 to 13.2 nm, which means that the tunable optical beat frequency in a range from 0.43 to 1.66 THz can be achieved. Nonlinear polarization rotation effect is implemented to stabilize and equalize outputs of the tunable dual-wavelength EDF laser. Since the dual-wavelength fiber laser has a single-longitudinal mode, the proposed dual-wavelength fiber laser is stable.
