Abstract(in English) We propose and experimentally demonstrate a wavelength-tunable actively mode-locked short-cavity fiber laser employing a 151-cm-long bismuth-oxide-based highly nonlinear erbium-doped fiber (Bi-HNL-EDF). An 85-nm continuous wavelength tuning from 1534 nm to 1619 nm can be achieved by utilizing the wide gain bandwidth of the Bi-HNL-EDF. High nonlinearity of the Bi-HNL-EDF collaborates with spectral filtering by an optical bandpass filter to suppress the supermode noise quite effectively. Because of the short cavity length as long as 8 m, better stability against external perturbation is expected compared with conventional long cavity systems using silica-based highly nonlinear fibers. Back-to-back bit-error-rate measurements also confirm bit-error-free operation throughout the entire wavelength tuning range.
