Abstract

We propose and demonstrate a multi-wavelength random fiber laser (RFL) based on a novel, to the best of our knowledge, compact apodized fiber Bragg grating array (AFBGA). The AFBGA is fabricated by a femtosecond laser with the point-by-point tilted parallel inscription method. The characteristics of the AFBGA can be flexibly controlled in the inscription process. Hybrid erbium–Raman gain is used in the RFL and reduces the lasing threshold to sub-watt level. Stable emissions at two to six wavelengths are achieved with the corresponding AFBGAs, and more wavelengths are expected with higher pump power and AFBGAs containing more channels. A thermo-electric cooler is employed to improve the stability of the RFL, and the maximum wavelength and power fluctuations of a three-wavelength RFL are 64 pm and 0.35 dB, respectively. With flexible AFBGA fabrication and simple structure, the proposed RFL enriches the choice of multi-wavelength devices and has significant potential in practical applications.
