Abstract :
A fibre laser with a mirrorless cavity that operates via Rayleigh scattering amplified through the Raman effect is recently demonstrated. The properties of such random distributed feedback laser appear different from those of both traditional random lasers and conventional fibre lasers. In the present paper, basic mechanisms defining operation of such random distributed feedback (RDFB) fiber lasers are analyzed and the obtained experimental results are reviewed.
