Abstract :
An all-fiber multiwavelength Tm-doped laser based on four-wave mixing in highly-germania-doped-highly-nonlinear-fiber (HG-HNLF) has been demonstrated. By using 50-m HG-HNLF to provide intensity-depended gain, 36 lasing lines with wavelength spacing of 0.86 nm within 30-dB bandwidth is obtained.
