Spatial hole burning causes rapid mode jumping and spectral broadening in free-running long linear Nd3+-fiber lasers. Phase modulators at either end of the resonator, operating in antiphase, provide active spatial averaging and permit stable single-mode operation with a short-term linewidth of ≊5 kHz at 1088 nm wavelength.
