Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a multi-wavelength switchable and tunable fiber laser based on a tapered fiber, and belongs to the technical field of fiber lasers. Background technique [0002] Multi-wavelength fiber lasers are widely used in the fields of optical communication, optical measurement and optical sensing. However, in ordinary doped fiber lasers, due to the mode competition caused by the gain broadening effect, it is difficult to achieve stable multi-wavelength output at room temperature in one laser cavity. [0003] At present, there are many ways to realize the multi-wavelength output of fiber lasers. In the early days, the doped fiber was cooled in liquid nitrogen to eliminate the gain broadening effect, but this method cannot operate the laser at room temperature, which is greatly limited in practical applications; the four-wave mixing effect of the fiber is used to make the wavelength difference The automatic distribution of power between ...
