A dual-wavelength ring cavity thulium-doped fiber laser (TDFL) assisted by tapered optical fiber was experimentally demonstrated. The tapered optical fiber acted as a comb filter to provide seed signal and limit oscillating modes, which minimized gain competition and ensured stable operation. Lasing thresholds were reached at low pump powers for both single wavelength and dual-wavelength lasing. The single wavelength laser was obtained at 60 mW while dual-wavelength output was obtained at 100 mW. The peaks of the dual-wavelength laser occurred at 1958 nm and 1980 nm with optical signal-to-noise ratio around 67 dB. The maximum power difference between the two peaks was less than 1.2 dB and power fluctuations over a 45-minute period did not exceed 3 dB. The proposed work offers stable dual-wavelength output with excellent performance in 2-mu m band using a simple laser configuration. The success of this work further facilitates the deployment of 2-mu m fiber lasers for real world applications.
