Abstract :
We have experimentally and theoretically demonstrated that residual power from a fiber Bragg grating-stabilized 980-nm pump laser in a coherence-collapsed state can be used to lock the wavelength of another solitary 980-nm pump. The coherence collapsed operation is transferred to the slave laser.
