Spacing-Switchable Multiwavelength Fiber Laser Based on Nonlinear Polarization Rotation and Brillouin Scattering in Photonic Crystal Fiber

A new spacing-switchable multiwavelength erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) is demonstrated using switchable nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) effects. The laser employs a 100-m-long photonic crystal fiber in conjunction with a four-port circulator in a fig...
