@article{10902/21769, year = {2021}, month = {4}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/21769}, abstract = {A hybrid Raman-erbium random fiber laser with a half-open cavity assisted by chirped artificially controlled backscattering fiber reflectors is presented. A combination of a 2.4 km-long dispersion compensating fiber with two highly erbium-doped fiber pieces of 5 m length were used as gain media. A single random laser emission line centered at 1553.8 nm with an optical signal to noise ratio of 47 dB were obtained when pumped at 37.5 dBm. A full width at half maximum of 1 nm and a 100% confidence level output power instability as low as 0.08 dB were measured. The utilization of the new laser cavity as a temperature and strain sensor is also experimentally studied.}, organization = {This work was supported by the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad of Spain (TEC2016-76021-C2), the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades and Agencia Estatal de Investigación (PID2019-107270RB) and the FEDER funds, the Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte of Spain (PhD grant FPU2018/02797), and Projects for young researches UPNA 2019 (PJUPNA1928).}, publisher = {Nature Publishing Group}, publisher = {Scientific Reports, 2021, 11, 9169}, title = {Hybrid Raman-erbium random fiber laser with a half open cavity assisted by artificially controlled backscattering fiber reflectors}, author = {Pérez Herrera, Rosa Ana and Roldán Varona, Pablo and Galarza Galarza, Marko and Sañudo-Lasagabaster Ibáñez, Silvia and Rodríguez Cobo, Luis and López Higuera, José Miguel and López-Amo Sainz, Manuel}, }
