Abstract

A linearly polarized multi-wavelength Brillouin laser comb in the 1.5- $\mu \text{m}$ telecom spectral window is established by cascading multiple Brillouin random lasing oscillations in a semi-open polarization maintaining fiber (PMF)-based composite cavity. Distributed Rayleigh scattering offers a broadband random reflector to build up efficient Brillouin lasing resonance along kilometer-long PMFs, yielding four orders of Stokes radiation with high degree of polarization (>99.67%) and polarization extinction ratio of >20 dB. Each Stokes component with kilohertz linewidth as well as over 40-dB optical signal-to-noise ratio has been validated. Compared with single mode fiber-based laser design, the proposed PMF-based laser comb exhibits highly suppressed relative intensity noise, thanks to the immunity to external perturbation and random modes density reduction within polarization-matched Brillouin gain.
