This work reported a multiwavelength thulium-doped fluoride fiber laser (TDFFL) for the S-band region using the Michelson interferometer as an optical filter. Michelson interferometer was utilized as a comb-like filter, whereas dispersion-compensated fiber (DCF) of 10 km length was used to increase the number of lasing lines and reduce mode competition. Approximately 61 lasing lines were achieved with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 40 dB in the wavelength region from 1501.36 to 1505.52 nm within 10 dB of maximum power. The stability of the multiwavelength fiber laser was also recorded for the time duration of two hours, and it was found that all lasing lines were stable and equally spaced at the free spectral range (FSR) of 0.07 nm. The variation in optical power was less than 0.5 dB; however, the wavelength shift was about 0.01 nm. Tunability of multiwavelength laser has also been observed up to the broader transmission span of 57 nm by incorporating the tunable band pass filter (TBPF). Moreover, FSR was observed to be tunable within the range of 0.02 to 0.14 nm by using the optical delay line (ODL) with a Michelson interferometer. Additionally, the proposed laser can generate frequency signals from 2.65 GHz to 18.54 GHz according to the obtained range of FSR.
