Abstract
We present a multi-wavelength ring fiber laser cavity based on modified loop fiber optic interferometer. Here, the interferometer is composed by three segments: two thin-core fiber (TCF) sections and one no-core fiber (NCF) section, these fibers are arranged as follows: TCF-NFC-TCF, then this structure is set into a fiber loop. Hence, by using a conventional ring laser cavity the proposed fiber optic loop is seed. Afterward, by controlling the modal fiber curvature and the ring cavity polarization state: single, dual and triple lasing modes can be achieved. The laser offers good power and wavelength stability, the maximal variations are 0.2 nm and 0.12 dB.
