Two-channel fiber Bragg grating fabricated by femtosecond laser and its application in switchable dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser

Two-channel fiber Bragg grating (TC-FBG) consisting of two localized sub-gratings parallel in the fiber core is fabricated by femtosecond laser. Utilizing the fabricated TC-FBG, stable and switchable dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser at room temperature is demonstrated. © 2015 OSA.
