Abstract

A bidirectionally pumped spectrum pre-sliced multi-wavelength fiber source is presented in the paper. Two 980nm laser diodes (LDs) are engaged to provide the pump power. An optimized double pass Mach-Zehnder interferometer with extinction ratio larger than 41dB is utilized as the comb filter. The extinction ratio of the fiber source is larger than 24.5dB in the whole C band, and almost reaches 29dB at 1530nm. Integral power of each channel is 0.58mW at 1550nm under 112.3mW total pump power. Channel spacing and bandwidth are 0.81nm and 0.30nm, respectively.
