Simple source for broadband Brillouin slow light in optical fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin

Spontaneously broadened emission from a distributed feedback laser diode perated just above threshold is used as a pump source in Brillouin slow light systems. The pump spectrum could this way be extended to several GHz. ...
