A ring cavity thulium-doped fiber laser incorporating a Sagnac loop is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. In the designed fiber laser, a 0.4-m-long thulium-doped fiber is selected as the gain medium; the Sagnac loop is composed of two-stage polarization maintaining fibers of lengths 1 m and 2 m, respectively; and one broadband reflection mirror is used as the wavelength reflector. In the experiment, the lasing threshold is 135 mW, and by adjusting the polarization controller, a tunable and stable single-wavelength laser can be realized. The line interval is less than 3 nm within 1832-1865 nm, the power difference of each line is less than 1.111 dB, and the side-mode suppression ratio is larger than 44.7 dB. When 1848.4 and 1846.4 nm single-wavelength lasers are realized, the peak power fluctuation is less than 0.18 dB and 0.206 dB, respectively, within 10 min of scan time. A tunable and stable dual-wavelength laser can be realized by adjusting polarization controller; the power difference is less than 3.68 dB, and the side-mode suppression ratio is more than 35.04 dB. When 1844 and 1863.2 nm lasers are obtained simultaneously, the power shift is less than 0.6 dB and 0.95 dB, respectively, at room temperature. By changing the polarization state, tunable triple-wavelength lasing can be achieved ultimately, and the side-mode suppression ratio is larger than 41 dB. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
