Abstract : We propose a reliable method for stabilizing narrow linewidth Brillouin fiber lasers with non-resonant pumping. Mode-hopping is suppressed by means of a phase-locked loop that locks the pump-Stokes detuning to a local radio-frequency (RF) oscillator. Stable single-mode operation of a 110-m-long Brillouin fiber laser oscillating at 1.55 mu m is demonstrated for several hours. The beat note between two independent Stokes waves presents a phase noise level of -60 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz with a -20 dB/decade slope, and a FWHM linewidth lower than 50 Hz.
