Abstract
A multiwavelength Brillouin-erbium fiber laser (BEFL) is proposed in this work. The proposed multiwavelengthBEFL utilizes a virtual mirror in the linear cavity. The virtual mirror comes from the effect of backward stimulated Brillouin scattering of a 20 km single mode fiber. With this design, five laser lines can be obtained at the pump power of 165 mW. The multiwavelength BEFL has wide tunability from 1530 nm to 1565 nm. It also has low threshold pump power of 20 mW. � 2018 IEEE.
