A Tm- doped fiber laser based on Mach- Zehnder and FBG filter was designed,which achieved the multi- wavelength laser output around 2 μm waveband. The Mach- Zehnder filter consisted of two 3 d B couplers,and reflection wavelength of the FBG is 1950. 35 nm. The wavelength interval of filter is 1. 6 nm and the threshold value of laser is 70 m W. The experimental results show that the Mach- Zehnder filter combined with FBG can improve the stability of wavelength efficiently. In the experiment,laser output of single- wavelength,dual- wavelength and three- wavelength were obtained by adjusting the polarization controller. For 1892. 2 nm single- wavelength laser,the wavelength drift and power shift are less than 0. 6 nm and 0. 969 d B,respectively,the side- mode suppression ratio is49. 75 d B; for 1902. 8 nm and 1932. 0 nm dual- wavelength laser,the wavelength shift are both less than 0. 4 nm,the power shift are less than 1. 021 d B and 2. 583 d B,respectively; for 1895. 7 nm,1902. 5 nm and 1931. 9 nm three-wavelength laser,the wavelength shift are less than 0. 4 nm,0. 3 nm and 1. 0 nm,respectively,the power shift are less than 2. 548 d B,1. 441 d B and 0. 809 d B,respectively.
