Abstract
The authors describe a new Er3+-doped fibre laser configuration which produces single-longitudinal-mode operation in the 1.5 μm region with less than 10 kHz linewidth. The fibre laser operates in a travelling-wave mode, preventing spatial holeburning. An added advantage of the configuration is that it allows precise and stable setting of the laser wavelength
