Abstract
Brillouin amplification and lasing are demonstrated in a single-mode chalcogenide fiber. A Brillouin gain of was measured in a long fiber for a pump power of at a wavelength. In addition, a compact fiber-based Brillouin laser with a threshold power of and a slope efficiency of 38% for nonresonant pumping is demonstrated.
