Abstract :
In this paper, the complex reflectivity of a DFB laser was spatially measured using a phase-sensitive optical low-coherence reflectometric technique in dependence with applied mechanical stress. And the π/2 phase-shifted Er3+-Yb3+ doped distributed feedback fibre laser was then characterised.
