Basic experimental setup. The ring laser is seeded by an ECDL that has a low AM component to actively control the laser linewidth. A 90% output coupler was used to lower the finesse of the cavity.

N2 - We present a broad-band (40 MHz) injection-seeded erbium-doped fiber ring laser with a low finesse cavity. Broad-band operation is achieved by seeding an arbitrary number of longitudinal modes in this cavity. This fiber laser is advantageous because it has the potential to substantially suppress stimulated Brillouin scattering for lidar applications.
