摘要

This paper demonstrates a tunable and switchable multi-wavelength Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) utilizing a cascaded architecture of nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) and Sagnac loop filter. By adjusting intracavity polarization controllers (PCs), the fiber laser achieves switchable output from 1 to 11 distinct wavelengths with a tuning range exceeding 29.6 nm. Critically, the wavelength spacing between output channels can be dynamically modulated. The laser exhibits a high optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of 25.62 dB. This highly flexible EDFL design, offering dynamic control over the output wavelength count and range, coupled with a reconfigurable wavelength spacing that is set by the length of the PMF within the Sagnac filter, is well-suited for wavelength division multiplexing systems and fiber optic sensing applications requiring adaptable multi-wavelength sources.
