Abstract
A high-power simultaneous multiwavelength lasing in an Er3+-Yb3+ codoped double-cladding fiber (EYCDF) ring laser is demonstrated based on a wavelength-dependent filter through spatial mode beating within the multimode fiber section. We have investigated the relationship between the lasing wavelengths and the length of the EYCDFs. The experimental results indicate that both the number of lasing wavelength lines and the spacing between two adjacent lasing lines can be controlled by the changes of the lasing light polarization states.
