A single-frequency Brillouin erbium fiber laser (BEFL) is demonstrated operating at the 1560-nm region using a simple ring resonator with a very short piece of bismuthbased erbium-doped fiber (Bi-EDF) for the first time. A 49-cm-long Bi-EDF is used to provide both nonlinear gain and linear gain to g...
