Abstract
A multi-band multiwavelength erbium-doped fiber laser (MBMEFL) based on the combined four wave mixing effect (FWM) and self-seeding stimulated Brillouin scattering (SSBS) effect has been studied experimentally. We use two ring cavities which consist of a large and a small cavity to build up this MBMEFL. The output multiple bands and multiple wavelengths are depended on the EDFA power and the length of the single mode fiber (SMF). With a proper length of SMF, we can achieve multi-band lasing by FWM effect and multiwavelength lasing in these bands by SSBS. By increasing the EDFA power, the multi-band multiwavelength lasing signals from the MBMEFL decrease.
