Abstract :
A stable 50-pm-spaced triple-wavelength fiber ring laser with nearly equal output power at each lasing line is achieved experimentally by incorporating a triple-transmission-band fiber Bragg grating filter in the fiber ring cavity. Such a laser will be very useful in applications requiring closely spaced multiwavelength components
