Wavelength switching was accomplished through a novel design which has two overlapping cavities sharing a single-gain medium.

When pumped with 40 mW of power, unequal Bragg wavelength shifts of 0.25 and 0.16 nm were measured in the respective 6-and 10-mm-long Bragg reflectors constructed around the Er-Yb core of a 2.5-cm-long DBR laser. This causes large fluctuation in the laser's output power. Stable operation resumed with increased pump power. At 68 mW of pump power, 0.32-nm shift in lasing wavelength (corresponding to a temperature rise of 38 C) was measured in the distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser.

Wavelength switching was accomplished through a novel design which has two overlapping cavities sharing a single-gain medium. The loss corresponding to one of the lasing wavelengths can be modulated via an optical chopper. Output power of about 6 mW and extinction ratio up to 50 dB were observed. The lasing wavelengths were tunable and switching was demonstrated for wavelength separations ranging from 0.35 to 23.5 nm.

IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, 1999

Laser frequency fluctuation of up to 1.7 GHz was measured by using an absorption line of an acetylene gas cell. The large frequency fluctuation was reduced to less than 80 MHz with proper cooling of the laser.
