Abstract :
Brillouin fibre laser is demonstrated using a very short length of photonic crystal fibre (PCF). A simple ring resonator is used in the experiment which consists of a 20 m long highly nonlinear PCF and 49 cm long Bismuth-based erbium-doped fibre (Bi-EDF). The proposed Brillouin laser is able to generate up to 3 Stokes and 3 anti-Stokes lines in the 1560 nm region at a channel spacing of 0.09 nm.
