The MZI was fabricated by using the fiber fusion splicer to splice a section of SMF to form two cascaded spherical structures. The Lyot filter was incorporating a segment of polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) and two polarization controllers (PCs), which provided nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) and birefringent filter effect to suppress the mode competition and generate multiwavelength. Using cascaded spherical -shape structures MZI and the Lyot filter as mode restricting elements respectively, the transmission spectrum of cascaded spherical -shape structures MZI was modulated by the Lyot filter, which determined the period of the compounded structure. In the experiments, 9-wavelength operation with a side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) of ~40 dB was achieved, and
