摘要

A multiwavelength Brillouin/erbium fiber laser (BEFL) with low threshold power is realized.A low threshold power of 3 mW and a wide tuning range of 18 nm can be achieved by controlling the reflected power in the nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM).Up to 24 lines with a wavelength spacing of 0.086 nm are generated at the Brillouin pump and at the 1 480-nm pump with-0.5 dBm (0.9 mW) and 25 mW of power,respectively.
