Effects of bandpass filter bandwidth on multiwavelength Brillouin Erbium Fiber Laser performance

The Brillouin-Erbium Fiber Laser (BEFL) has shown great potential as a multiwavelength source for the dense wavelength division multiplexing system. However, mode competition that exists in the laser cavity confines the wavelength tunability and number of Stokes of the BEFL. In the literature, a Tun...
