Abstract
We propose and demonstrate an efficiently switchable dual-wavelength passively mode-locked fiber laser incorporating a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) and a comb filter. The onset of passive mode-locking is assisted with the SESAM. By properly rotating the polarization controllers (PCs), the switchable dual-wavelength mode-locked operation are efficiently obtained.
