Abstract :
A dual wavelength-swept laser is experimentally demonstrated using two Fabry-Perot tunable filters in a single fibre ring cavity. The laser emits two wavelengths that can be swept simulaneously or one at a time. The source can be used to conduct wavelength dependent pump- probe experiments and eliminates the need for multiple lasers.
