Abstract
Random Raman fiber laser (RRFL) has been widely studied in high-power laser generation due to its special lasing characteristics. However, all previous high-power results are based on the half-open cavity. In this letter, we demonstrate an applicable high-power RRFL with the simplest structure, that is, a full-open cavity. The lasing dynamic and output characteristics are theoretically and experimentally studied. Laser source with multi-longitudinal modes can result in the random laser output from one side even in the full-open cavity. The ratio of the backward output power is mainly determined by the reflectivity of fiber ends. The experimental results show that such a simple structure can easily generate kilowatts of random laser power and is a promising setup to achieve higher output power, which is also an important platform to study the laser dynamic in high-power full-open cavity without any point-action or regular distributed reflectors.
