A multiwavelength erbium-doped fiber laser based on nonlinear polarization rotation with incorporation of a highly nonlinear fiber has been demonstrated. Stable multi-wavelength operation at room temperature is realized owing to the intensity-dependent transmission in fiber laser with nonlinear-polarization-rotation effect. And benefiting from the four-wave mixing in the highly nonlinear fiber, the uniformity and stabilization of the output multi-wavelength lasing have been greatly improved, in comparison with similar laser using single-mode fiber. Moreover, the wavelength spacing can be arbitrarily chosen according to the requirement through changing the PMF length.
