摘要

A novel tunable dual-wavelength distributed-feedback fiber laser is presented. It is based on the optical resonances induced by two local phase shifts introduced in the periodic structure of an erbium-doped fiber Bragg grating. A dynamic control of the phase shifts, which are generated by piezoelectric transducers, permits the tunability of the wavelength spacing between the optical harmonics of the laser signal. The wavelength spacing is continuously tuned from 0.128 to 7 GHz. Moreover, a microwave carrier is created within such frequency tuning range by the heterodyne photodetection of the dual-wavelength laser signal.
