A tunable laser is demonstrated using a microfiber knot resonator structure made by erbiumdoped fiber (EDF). The laser is made of a 2 m long EDF where 30 mm of its end section is tapered to construct a microfiber knot resonator (MKR). The combination of the EDF and MKR generates a stable single wave...
