A tunable single- and dual-wavelength ytterbium-doped fiber laser, incorporating a 16-channel arrayed waveguide grating is proposed and demonstrated. The side mode suppression ratio from the proposed setup has an average value of 52.97 dB (single-wavelength generation) and 58.19 dB (dual-wavelength...
