Abstract :
We report the fabrication of extremely short linear-cavity distributed Bragg reflector fiber lasers (DBR-FLs). It has a total length of 7 mm, the shortest FL being reported. The FLs are characterized in details. We constructed a FL sensor array that has great potentials for large-scale, high sensitivity sensing applications.
