A multi-wavelength thulium doped fiber laser (TDFL) with a slope efficiency of 16.57 % is demonstrated using a linear cavity consisting of a broadband mirror and a flat-cleaved fiber end in conjunction with 1552 nm pumping. The TDFL produces eleven lines within a wavelength range from 1895 to 1907 n...
