Stable power multi-wavelength fibre laser based on four-wave mixing in a short length of highly non-linear fibre

A multi-wavelength fibre laser utilizing the four-wave mixing (FWM) effect in a 100m long highly non-linear fibre (HNLF) is proposed and demonstrated. The multi-wavelength fibre laser is configured in a ring cavity and only needs a low power erbium doped fibre amplifier (EDFA) as the gain medium to...
