“…Some of the systems mentioned above allow control of the wavelengths, but they require a different FBG for each wavelength and the spacing is somewhat large. Stable multi-wavelength operation of EDFLs with tunable wavelength spacing has also been achieved using other technologies such as a segmented all-PM fiber ring resonator [12], a spacing-tunable multi-wavelength comb filter [13], second-order nonlinearity of LiNbO 3 waveguides [14], or chirped FBGs [15], however, these configurations are complicated, or require the use of liquid nitrogen [13], which makes it impractical.…”
