Bidirectional multiwavelength Brillouin fiber laser (BFL) generation is demonstrated using a 25 km long single-mode fiber as a Brillouin gain medium in a ring cavity. Odd-order Brillouin Stokes waves appear in the backward direction whereas Brillouin pump and the even Stokes orders are in the forwar...
