Abstract

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a multi-wavelength thulium-doped fiber (TDF) laser based on all-fiber Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) at 1.9 mm. Here a segment of 4 m single-mode TDF is pumped by 1568 nm fiber laser for 2 mm band optical gain. The MZI includes two cascaded 3 dB coupler. A segment of 3.5 m long un-pumped polarization-maintaining TDF and polarization controller (PC) are joined in the ring cavity to suppress the mode competition. Multi-wavelength lasers at 1.9 mm with wavelength number from one to four are obtained by adjusting the PC and the stability of output power of multi-wavelength fiber laser is analyzed.
