Abstract

We report a polarization-maintaining λ/shifted distributed feedback (DFB) Er-doped fiber laser with a ring cavity configuration. The ring cavity suppressed the self-pulsation of the stand-alone Er-doped DFB fiber laser. The laser with a 57-m-long ring cavity achieved single-longitudinal-mode operation, a linewidth as narrow as 6 kHz, and relaxation-oscillation-free noise characteristics.
