Abstract

We report the excitation of single Stokes Brillouin lasing using an-ultra high-quality (Q) lithium fluoride crystalline resonator pumped above given threshold. The home-made resonator has a quality factor above hundred million at 1550 nm. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of Brillouin lasing in a monofluoride crystal. Combined with the narrow linewidth of the Brillouin gain, the low threshold for oscillations, offers great potential for ultra-stable microwave generation.
