Abstract

We present a tunable multi-wavelength Yb³⁺-doped double-clad fiber laser based on a Fabry-Perot filter (FPF). By adjusting the FPF, the number of lasing wavelength and their spaces are controlled which is in agreement well with the numerical analysis. The laser can oscillate at different number of wavelengths from one to ten while the oscillation is quite stable. In ten-wavelength laser, the system allows us to extract more than 1.5 W with a slope efficiency of 67%.
