Abstract :
An all-normal-dispersion oscillator with narrowband intracavity absorption acquires spectral features which follow the index of refraction of the absorber, as confirmed by experimental obsevation. Compared to the conventional absorption, the signal can be enhanced by an order of magnitude.
