Abstract :
Very short erbium-fibre lasers with holographically written gratings in the erbium-doped fibre core are reported. An output power of 181 mu W was obtained from a 2cm long diode-pumped laser. A 1 cm long diode pumped laser had an output power of 57 mu W. As would be expected for such short cavity lengths, these lasers are robustly singlemode.
