摘要：
A dual-frequency 2-cm silica fiber laser with a wavelength spacing of 0.3 nm has been demonstrated using a polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber-Bragg-grating (FBG) reflector. The birefringence of the PM FBG was used to generate the two single-mode (SM) lasing frequencies of orthogonal polarizations. The SM operation in each wavelength has been verified. The output power reaches 43 mW with the optical signal-to-noise ratio of greater than 60 dB. The fiber laser shows stable dual-frequency output under pump variations.
