The operation of the hybrid Brillouin/Erbium fibre laser (BEFL) in the long wavelength band (L-band) region is experimentally demonstrated. It uses a 50-m long erbium-doped fibre (EDF) with 400 ppm ion concentration as a gain medium to amplify the Stokes frequency signal generated in single mode fib...
