Abstract

A multi-wavelength Brillouin/erbium-doped fiber laser (BEFL) which operates in 1594 nm region is demonstrated using a 215 cm long Bismuth-based EDF and SMF. Two optical circulators were used at the output ends of the system to form a linear cavity to produce a cascaded Brillouin Stokes and anti-Stokes. A stable output laser comb of more than 20 lines was obtained with a spacing of approximately 0.089 nm at a Brillouin pump power of 4 dBm and two 1,480-nm pumps at powers of 100 mW. The number of lines is relatively higher compared with the ring cavity BEFL.
