Abstract :
A two-cavity ring laser system demonstrates a multiwavelength output of 16 Stokes signals spaced at 0.088 nm. The Brillouin erbium fiber laser (BEFL) is in one cavity and a fiber Bragg grating fiber laser in the other, which acts as a Brillouin pump for the BEFL. No external Brillouin pump was used in the experiment.
