Abstract

A new hybrid Brillouin erbium fiber laser scheme that employs cascaded multiple Brillouin gain fibers in a ring cavity to realize multiwavelength laser output with switchable frequency spacing is proposed and experimentally investigated. The multiple frequency downshifting processes introduced by multiple stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) effects in one round-trip of the cavity make it possible to realize multiwavelength output with frequency spacing that is an integer multiple of the SBS frequency shifting. With two cascaded SBS fibers, the frequency spacing can be switched between single and double SBS frequency shifting by properly adjusting the Brillouin pump power. Multiwavelength outputs with triple or quadruple SBS frequency spacing are also demonstrated by employing three or four SBS gain fibers, respectively.
