A dual-wavelength thulium-doped fluoride fiber (TDFF) laser is presented. The generation of the TDFF laser is achieved with the incorporation of a single mode-multimode-single mode (SMS) interferometer in the laser cavity. The simple SMS interferometer is fabricated using the combination of two-mode...
