Stable Dual-Wavelength DFB Fiber Laser With Separate Resonant Cavities and Its Application in Tunable Microwave Generation

A single-longitudinal-mode dual-wavelength distributed feedback fiber laser with a wavelength spacing of 0.312 nm is proposed and demonstrated. Based on two spatially separated resonant cavities in a single fiber Bragg grating made by a simple method, stable dual-wavelength lasing is established. Then, a 38.67-GHz microwave signal generated by beating the two lasing wavelengths is obtained with a 3-dB bandwidth of ~6 kHz and a frequency drift <5 MHz without any feedback mechanism. As a potential application of this device, a tunable microwave source ranging from 18.67 to 58.67 GHz (with a small discontinuity) is proposed and partially demonstrated
