An ultra-low noise and narrow linewidth λ/4-shifted DFB Er-doped fiber laser with a ring configuration

We report a polarization-maintaining λ/4-shifted DFB Er-doped fiber laser with a ring cavity configuration. A linewidth as narrow as 6 kHz and relaxation-oscillation-free noise characteristics are achieved with a ring cavity length of 57 m.
