Robust singlemode operation is reported of an Er3+-doped distributed f
eedback fibre laser based on a 36 mm long Bragg grating with a permane
ntly induced pi/2 phaseshift. The laser is integrated into a master-os
cillator/parametric-amplifier configuration, which yields an output po
wer of 5.4mW and has a linewidth of 15kHz.
