In this work, switchable 10, 20, and 30 GHz region photonics-based microwave generation in a fiber laser cavity is proposed and demonstrated. The microwave generation is based on the beating of a dual-wavelength thulium-doped fluoride fiber laser. With the aid of a micro-air gap in an adapter, singl...
