An efficient Brillouin/erbium fiber laser, which operates in the 1600-nm (L-band) region, is demonstrated for potential applications in future dense-wavelength division multiplexing communication systems. The laser configuration consists of an L-band EDFA (to enable L-band amplification) where two 3...
