Abstract
Relative intensity noise of a six-channel multiwavelength distributed Fabry-Perot fibre laser is compared to the noise of a singlemode distributed feedback fibre laser. The noise characteristics of individual channels are similar to that of the singlemode laser, offering a low-cost and compact solution for wavelength multiplexing applications without noise penalty.
