We report a room temperature all-fiber dual-wavelength Erbium Ytterbium codoped fiber laser (EYDFL) operating at 1543.3 and 1545.4 nm using a nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) technique. An isolator is used in conjunction with a multilobed double-clad Erbium Ytterbium codoped fiber to induce int...
