Abstract

We demonstrate a low-noise Brillouin/erbium fiber laser (BEFL), which uses only 1.5 m polarization-maintaining erbium-doped fiber as both the Brillouin and erbium gain media. This BEFL presents a phase noise of 125dB/Hz1/2 at 1 kHz frequency, at 2 mW Brillouin pump (3MHz linewidth) power and 200 mW 980 nm pump power. The polarization extinction ratio of the laser output light is 31 dB. Stable (2h) single-mode operation is observed. This BEFL presents potential applications in distributed Brillouin fiber sensors, inteferometric fiber sensors, and optical communications.
