摘要： A continuous wave, switchable multi-wavelength, thulium-doped fiber laser (TDFL) with a polarization-maintaining sampled fiber Bragg grating (PM-SFBG) is proposed and demonstrated for the first time. A length of 150 m highly-nonlinear fiber (HNLF) was used to introduce the four-wave mixing effect for the efficient suppression of the wavelength competition existing in the gain medium of thulium-doped fiber. By adjusting the state of polarization (SOP) of light in the laser cavity, two six-wavelength operations at two orthogonal SOPs and a ten-wavelength operation were obtained. When the TDFL ran at the six-wavelength operation mode with a pump power of 4.11 W, there were at least four lasing wavelengths with an optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) higher than 30 dB, and when it ran at the ten-wavelength operation mode with a pump power of 4.60 W, there were nine lasing wavelengths with an OSNR higher than 30 dB. Regardless of the operation mode, the TDFL exhibited high stability.
