Linewidth-Narrowed, Linear-Polarized Single-Frequency Thulium-Doped Fiber Laser Based on Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Effect

A 2-μm linear-polarized hybrid Brillouin-Thulium fiber laser (BTFL) was experimentally investigated for linewidth narrowing. The low threshold for the BTFL in terms of Brillouin pump of ~200 mW, benefits from the gain of active fiber in the ring cavity for both Brillouin pump and generate...
