Abstract :
We demonstrate a stable, CW, single-mode distributed feedback (DFB) photonic crystal fibre (PCF) ring laser with a narrow linewidth of <10 kHz. The incorporation of a polarisation-discriminating feedback loop helps eliminate the detrimental effect of self-pulsing and allows lasing to occur in one single longitudinal mode.
