Abstract

We report a three-wavelength Raman fiber laser (RFL) with the equal spaced wavelengths based on partially-degenerated four-wave mixing (PD-FWM) in a highly Ge-doped fiber. The FWM processes in cascaded RFLs reduce the threshold power and improve the slope efficiency for two configurations of three-wavelength RFLs. We show a comparison between two configurations of RFLs characterized by their slope efficiency and their threshold.
