Abstract
A simple configuration for the generation of a switchable dual-wavelength fiber ring laser is presented. The proposed configuration employs a short twin-core photonic crystal fiber acting as a Mach–Zehnder interferometer at room temperature. A polarization controller is further utilized to enable switchable dualwavelength operation.
