Wherein, the output power of the bidirectional erbium-doped fiber amplifier EDFA1 is 500 mW.
The single-mode fiber SMF2 selects an SM-28 single-mode fiber with the length of 10 km, and provides nonlinear Brillouin gain.
In the high birefringence saturable absorption ring 3, the second optical coupler 7 is a 3 dB coupler, the unpumped erbium-doped fiber 9 is 10 m in length, the polarization maintaining fiber 10 is 13 cm in length, and the self-excitation wavelength quantity and the high OSNR of the multi-wavelength laser are respectively ensured by utilizing the high birefringence effect and the saturable absorption narrow-band filtering characteristic of the high birefringence saturable absorption ring 3.

when an incident beam enters the 3 dB coupler, two beams of light beams which are transmitted oppositely are generated, and are recombined when passing through the polarization maintaining optical fiber, and finally the light beams return to the 3 dB coupler to realize coherent output. The selection of the output wavelength is realized by adjusting the PC to obtain a specific reflection spectrum.
The relation between the length of the polarization maintaining fiber and the bandwidth range is as follows (1):

From equation (1), it can be seen that the shorter the length of the polarization maintaining fiber, the larger the high birefringence saturable absorption loop bandwidth range, and from equation (2), it can be seen that the degree of density of the output wavelength interval is related to both L and L, and that the longer the wavelength interval, the denser the wavelength interval, and the larger the wavelength interval, so the number of output wavelengths increases with the increase of the bandwidth range.
The principle of the saturable absorption narrow-band filtering characteristic is as follows:
the saturable absorption ring splits incident light waves into two same waves, the two waves are then reversely propagated in the unpumped erbium-doped fiber, standing waves are formed, the unpumped erbium-doped fiber serves as an absorber, the saturable absorption effect of the unpumped erbium-doped fiber in a standing wave field is utilized, the absorption efficiency of the unpumped erbium-doped fiber is inversely proportional to light intensity, the stronger the light intensity is, the higher the absorption efficiency is, and conversely, the weaker the light intensity is, the lower the absorption efficiency is, so that the high optical signal-to-noise ratio of output laser is ensured. The spatial light intensity distribution can be easily determined as lambda/2 neffWhere λ is the center wavelength and 2neffIs the effective refractive index of the unpumped erbium doped fiber. Considering the energy level of erbium ion in two-level system4I15/2And4I13/2composition, wherein the saturation absorption coefficient can be expressed as:
