Resonant loop mirror with narrow-band reflections and its application in single-frequency fiber lasers
- Optical Research Centre, Optical Physics Group, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ (United Kingdom)
We present a new form of loop mirror (to be realized with all-fiber or integrated optics technology) that can produce narrow-band reflections and could find an application in single-frequency fiber lasers, allowing for a standing-wave design with a long doped section and eliminating the need for a Faraday isolator or a fiber grating. We discuss the main features of such a loop mirror and present experimental results that agree well with the theory. {copyright} 1997 Optical Society of America
