Title: Dual-Frequency Operation in a Short-Cavity Ytterbium-Doped Fiber Laser

Journal Article · · IEEE Photonics Technology Letters

A dual-frequency 2-cm silica fiber laser with a wavelength spacing of 0.3 nm has been demonstrated using a polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber-Bragg-grating (FBG) reflector. The birefringence of the PM FBG was used to generate the two single-mode (SM) lasing frequencies of orthogonal polarizations. The SM operation in each wavelength has been verified.
