Abstract
Superfluorescent, SF single-mode Nd3+- doped fiber sources1,2 are of interest for use in a number of applications where a high brightness source of low temporal coherence is required. These include sensors such as fiber gyroscopes and medical diagnostics. Such sources are similar to fiber lasers, but suppression of round-trip feedback prevents the formation of discrete longitudinal cavity modes.
