Watt-level ultrahigh-OSNR single-longitudinal-mode tunable Brillouin   fiber laser
  A watt-level ultrahigh optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) tunable Brillouin fiber laser (BFL) has been demonstrated.By optimizing the length of the single mode fiber (SMF) cavity at 11m and its output ratio at sixty percent, 1.04 W output power, as well as stable SLM operation is obtained at 2.24 W pump power. The single pass cavity BFL has the advantage that Brillouin pump frequency doesn't need to match the cavity mode, thus the stability is greatly improved. As only SMF is used in the cavity, the operate wavelength can be tunable without the restriction from self lasing cavity mode. Furthermore, it proves that core-pumped single frequency fiber laser is able to generate watt-level power. The laser has excellent performance in terms of noise, linewidth, and stability.
