Er(3+):Yb(3+)-codoped fiber distributed-feedback laser.
We report what is to our knowledge the first fiber distributed-feedback laser using a single Bragg grating at 1.5 microm written directly into a 2-cm-long Er(3+)-doped fiber codoped with Yb(3+). We obtained robust single-frequency operation by either using one end reflector or locally heating the center of the grating to create the necessary phase shift.
