Abstract
A novel ultra-narrow linewidth DFB laser in the extended FBG ring cavity having kHz linewidth is presented. The method of linewidth compression was realized by introducing an extended fiber ring cavity into the cavity between the external FBG and the Bragg grating inside a DFB laser diode. Optimum optical feedback control was achieved by using an optical circulator and a variable optical attenuator to prevent mode hopping induced by spatial hole burning. To prove the validity of the proposed scheme, a self-heterodyne measurement set-up with fiber delay line of 63 km was utilized for the ultra-narrow linewidth measurement. A 3 dB linewidth of less than 3 kHz was demonstrated, which is resolution limited performance. This linewidth is equivalent to 3 dB linewidth of 2$\times$10$^{-8}$ nm.
