摘要
Simultaneous multiwavelength lasing is demonstrated exploiting intracavity polarization hole burning in an erbium-doped fiber laser. Experimental results indicate that polarization hole burning can be enhanced by the changes of the light polarization states and bias current of optical MQW waveguide which serves as reflector in the laser. Eleven wavelengths with 0.9 nm spacing are generated at room temperature. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
