Abstrakt: We demonstrate a self-injection locking (SIL) in an Er-doped random fiber laser by a high quality factor (high-Q) random fiber grating ring (RFGR) resonator, which enables a single-mode narrow-linewidth lasing with ultra-low intensity and frequency noise. The RFGR resonator includes a fiber ring with a random fiber grating to provide random feedback modes and noise suppression filters with self-adjusted peak frequency adaptable to small perturbations allowing single longitudinal mode over 7000 s with frequency jitter below 3.0 kHz. Single-mode operation is accomplished by carefully controlling phase delays and mode coupling of resonant modes between main ring and RFGR with a side-mode suppression ratio of 70 dB and narrow linewidth of 1.23 kHz. The relative intensity noise is -140 dB/Hz above 100 kHz and the frequency noise is 1 Hz/Hz 1/2 above 10 kHz.
