In this paper, a feasible scheme for low-threshold, switchable multi-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser is presented. This scheme combines a whispering gallery mode microsphere resonator with fiber taper acting as miniature comb filter within an erbium-doped all-fiber laser system. By exploiting the high Q and nonlinear comb filtering characteristic of the microsphere resonator with the system polarization regulation mechanism, it effectively suppresses the mode competition caused by uniform gain broadening, achieving stable output and flexible switching of low-threshold multi-wavelength lasers without other wavelength stabilization mechanism. According to the experimental results, single-, dual-, triple-, quad-, and quint-wavelength switchable lasers have been successfully achieved, with the lowest laser generation threshold of 3.156 mW. During a 50 min stability test, the maximum wavelength drift is less than 0.008 nm, and the power fluctuation is less than 2.98 dB. This scheme demonstrates significant advantages in terms of compact structure, low pump power requirements, and flexibility in wavelength switchable, providing a new practicable approach for the low-cost integration of multi-wavelength lasers with broad application potential.
