Abstract :
In this work we demonstrate the use of an all-fiber technique to get a continuously tunable ring-laser of narrow linewidth, by using of all-fiber Sagnac interferometer like a thermically selective optical filter (TSOF), in gain region of Er-doped fiber, as the continuously tunable wavelength-selective element in a fiber ring laser.
