ABSTRACT:
An article, such as an optical communication system, which includes a laser formed in an optical waveguide or optical fiber having a rare-earth-doped core or core portion. In one embodiment, the optical resonant cavity of the laser is at least partially defined by a distributed Bragg reflector formed in a portion of the core. In contrast to the prior art, the length of the optical resonant cavity is about 5 cm or less.
