Abstract A reconfigurable multiwavelength erbium‐doped fiber laser, using two multimode fiber Bragg gratings (MFBGs), is presented. Two MFBGs in L‐band are cascaded to form two overlapping resonant cavities. Various configurations of four‐, three‐, or two‐wavelength lasing are demonstrated experimentally by appropriately controlling the two polarization controllers inside the cavities. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
