Research abstract
This is a proposal to investigate the feasibility of a high power, single mode, low noise and narrow linewidth fiber laser based on a "virtual ring" laser cavity. This novel laser architecture enables traveling-wave oscillation in a compact, linear and all-fiber cavity. The traveling wave laser field eliminates "spatial hole burning", a feat usually achieved only in a ring laser. This significantly improves the laser power, the signal-to-noise ratio, linewidth, and the side-mode suppression to unprecedented levels.
