Abstract
Single-frequency Er3+-doped fibre lasers are emerging as interesting alternatives to distributed feedback (DFB) diode lasers for use in future high-capacity 1.5 μm WDM communication systems, as well as in CATV, LIDAR, fibre-optic sensor and spectroscopy applications. In general, fibre lasers are fibre-compatible, scalable to high output powers and have low intensity noise and kHz linewidths.
