“…In recent years, all kinds of multi-wavelength EDFLs have been proposed by different schemes, such as employing a large-core fiber filter [1], phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating combined with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer [2], a Sagnac loop and tunable filter [3], a four-mode fiber Bragg grating (FBG) [4], a core-offset Mach-Zehnder interferometer with non-zero dispersion-shifted fiber [5], graphene/PMMA thin film [6] or a fiber Michelson interferometer [7]. However, the above MWFLs often have some disadvantages, such as a complex loop cavity structure that causes low slope efficiency, greater welding loss for the mismatch of the fiber core and toolong fiber length.…”
