Abstract

Summary form only given. The results of the theoretical and experimental investigation of an Er-doped bi-directional ring fibre laser (EDBRFL) with a 90° Faraday rotator (FR) in the resonator are presented in this report. We present a configuration of the laser. It is demonstrated, that parasitic sensitivity of the nonreciprocal frequency bias to fluctuations of the fiber ring resonator birefringence can be strongly suppressed if the 90° FR is used as a phase nonreciprocal element in the resonator of the EDBRFL
