A simple approach to fabricate a stable single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber ring laser with one superimposed fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed and demonstrated. The superimposed FBG is fabricated by the dual-exposure method for wavelength selection. A home-made in-line two-taper Mach-Zehnder interferometer is incorporated to balance the intra-cavity loss for the wavelengths. The SLM operation is guaranteed by a feedback fiber loop and saturable absorber. A stable dual-wavelength SLM fiber ring laser with a wavelength spacing of approximately 8.53 nm is experimentally realized. The optical signal-to-noise ratio of the laser output is over 50 dB and the linewidth of each wavelength measured by the delayed self-heterodyne method is 9.67 kHz and 9.07 kHz, respectively. The proposed scheme offers the possibility for difference frequency generation of terahertz radiation.
