also emphasized on the principle special parameters of F-P filter.The characteristics
and basic structures ofcascade F-P filters are also presented.
3 In the third chapter, firstly, we introduce the design principle of Er3+ doped

4 In addition, we designed different kinds of tunable L-band fiber lasers which
are tuned by PMF-FLM. Among them, the ideal outcomes obtained by double

following, we designed L-band SFS and broad band SFS.The 3dB bandwidth of
L-band SFS is 1565nm-1610nm.And that of broadband is 1550- 1607nm.The total
