Erbium-Doped Fiber Laser With a Microfiber Coupled to Silica Microsphere

A compact erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) is demonstrated using a piece of 1.5-m-long erbium-doped fiber (EDF) with a microfiber coupled to a silica microsphere at the output end. A stable laser output is achieved due to the recirculation of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) light inside the line...
