Abstract

A single-wavelength Brillouin fibre laser (BFL) is demonstrated at 1550nm region using Raman amplification in single mode fiber. The BFL operates at 1550.09nm, which is up-shifted by 0.08nm from the Brillouin pump with a peak power of -26.2 dBm and a side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) of more than 12 dB. The threshold power for Brillouin pump and Raman pump is obtained at around 5∼6dBm and 250mW, respectively for the case of 70~90% of the pump powers is injected into the SMF. The generated BFL has narrow linewidth and many potential applications such as in optical communication and sensors.
