Abstract :
We demonstrate a novel laser structure which enables efficient utilization of the laser gain profile and recirculation of Brillouin shifted signals inside the cavity. Multi-wavelength operation of more than 53 Stokes lines has been obtained with excellent flatness and stability. Procedures for optimum operation conditions will be described.
