N2 - The effect of an additional random reflector providing self-injection locking of an erbium fiber DFB laser on linewidth narrowing is studied. In a hybrid cavity comprising a short artificial fs-inscribed random reflector in combination with a natural Rayleigh reflector in the form of 100-m SMF fiber connected to the DFB laser the effect is greatly enhanced. The instantaneous linewidth narrowing by 2 orders is demonstrated which is in approximate agreement with theoretical estimation. For the long-term linewidth, the narrowing of approximately 3 orders of magnitude is observed. Thus, a compact and stable single-frequency laser with quite narrow linewidth (
