We demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, a self-starting stimulated-Brillouin-scattering phaseconjugate resonator in a flash-lamp-pumped dye-laser system. The brightness of the laser is increased by a factor of 40 compared with that of an equivalent plane-]plane conventional resonator.

We demonstrate a regeneratively mode-locked optical pulse source at about 10 GHz using an optoelectronic oscillator constructed with an electro-absorption modulator integrated distributed feedback laser diode. The 10 GHz RF component is derived from the interaction between the pump wave and the backscattered, frequency-downshifted Stokes wave resulted from stimulated Brillouin scattering in an optical fiber. The component serves as a modulation source for the 1556 nm laser diode without the need for any electrical or optical RF filter to perform the frequency extraction.

No conventional start resonator is required. The near-field profile is converted from rectangular to near-Gaussian and the far-field spatial beam quality is increased by up to 60% relative to a conventional plane-plane resonator.
