Abstract

We report Brillouin lasing in an integrated liquid-core optical fiber filled with neat ${\mathrm{CS}}_2$. This is the first observation of Brillouin lasing in an optical fiber filled with a liquid, to the best of our knowledge. The linewidth of the single frequency liquid-based Brillouin laser was estimated to be $<1\mathrm{kHz}$ by beating two similar but independent lasers against one another.
