We investigated the performance of multiwavelength random fiber laser (MWRFL) using a bidirectional semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and Lyot filter inside a ring cavity. The bidirectional nature of linear SOA acts as the gain medium while the Lyot filter functions as the wavelength-selective d...
