A dual-wavelength tunable spacing all fiber thulium-doped laser is reported and demonstrated.The conventional ring cavity is used in this fiber laser,1 565 nm pump source can achieve maximum output power 33 dBm,and a segment of 4mlong single mode thulium-doped fiber is gain medium.The filter is a composite structure based on multimode interference effect and Sagnac ring.Through the composite filter,it can radiate tunable spacing and high side mode suppression ratiodual-wavelength laser output.The experimental results suggest that not only dual-wavelength tunable spacing from 3nm to 80 nm,but also SMSR is 60 dB under the controlling of pump power and polarization controller in composite filter,line-width is 0.2nm,power fluctuation is ±1.5dB/h,bimodal energy difference is less than 4dBm.
