Abstract :
Narrow-band generation is achieved in random distributed feedback (RDFB) fiber laser by using narrow-band filters in the center of a distributed cavity. The resulting line-width of ~0.1 nm is 10 times less than line-width in classical random distributed feedback fiber laser. Spectral properties can be optimized further.
