A linear cavity Brillouin fiber laser (BFL) is proposed and demonstrated for multi-wavelength operation. The BFL uses a single mode fiber (SMF) as a non-linear gain medium and an optical circulator to generate a linear cavity resonator. Two couplers are used to inject the Brillouin Pump (BP) and tap

β¦ Synopsis
We experimentally demonstrate a ring-cavity, single-wavelength Brillouin-Raman fiber laser. An 11-km long dispersion compensating fiber was used as the medium for the Raman as well as the Brillouin amplification. A threshold power of 27 mW was recorded to get the Brillouin-Stokes line at 1455 nm pump wavelength. At an injected Brillouin pump power of 2 mW, while the Raman pump unit was fixed at a power of 296 mW, the single-wavelength Brillouin-Raman fiber laser can be tuned from 1520 nm to 1580 nm without any self-lasing cavity modes in the laser system. The Brillouin-Stokes line has a 3-dB power fluctuation within 26 nm from 1542 nm to 1568 nm.

An efficient multi-wavelength Brillouin fiber laser (BFL) is demonstrated by using a self feedback mechanism of Brillouin-Rayleigh scatterings with the presence of distributed Raman gain. The balanced of these three scatterings generates a laser comb more than 27 lines with a relatively flat amplitu
The paper demonstrates the utilization of a tunable band-pass filter in producing tunable multi-wavelength Brillouinerbium fiber lasers within a Fabry-Perot cavity. The optimization of the Brillouin pump wavelength position within the bandwidth of the self-lasing cavity modes is important to achieve
## Abstract An efficient linear cavity Brillouin fiber laser (BFL) is demonstrated using a standard single mode fibre (SMF), an optical coupler and a fiber Bragg grating (FBG). The laser peak is obtained at β4.5 dBm with a Brillouin pump of 14 dBm. The use of a 99/1 optical coupler shows the highes
A multi-wavelength laser is demonstrated using stimulated Brillouin scattering in a single-mode fiber with a feedback loop using two couplers and an optical circulator. This Brillouin fiber laser can operate at any wavelength depending on the Brillouin pump (BP) wavelength used. With a BP of 14 dBm,
