A laser based on a ribbon multicore ytterbium doped fiber where different cores amplified different spectral bands, has been mode-locked with a single saturable absorber mirror. Tunable dual wavelength synchronized picosecond pulses were obtained. Compensation of differential cavity roundtrip times was achieved in the fiber.
