Popis: All-fiber, polarization maintaining, narrow-bandwidth, Yb-doped fiber lasers with randomly distributed feedback operated near 976 nm were realized for the first time. It was shown that the laser operated in a single, longitudinal mode regime during intervals of a few seconds. At other times, the laser generated a few longitudinal modes, but its bandwidth was always below the resolution of the optical spectrum analyzer (0.02 nm). The linewidth of each single longitudinal mode of the laser was estimated to be below 20 kHz. The reasons for this observed laser behavior were discussed and methods for achieving stable, continuous wave operation in the single-longitudinal-mode regime were proposed.
