Ytterbium-Phosphate Glass for Microstructured Fiber Laser

In the paper, we report on the development of a synthesis and melting method of phosphate glasses designed for active microstructured fiber manufacturing. Non-doped glass synthesized in a P₂O₅-Al₂O₃-BaO-ZnO-MgO-Na₂O oxide system served as the matrix material; meanwhile, the glass was doped with 6 mol% (18 wt%) of Yb₂O₃, as fiber core. The glasses were well-fitted in relation to optical (refract...

Power scaling of Raman fiber lasers

Raman fiber laser is an efficient way to expand the spectral coverage of fiber lasers. In recent years, output power of Raman fiber laser has been scaled quickly. There is a great potential in further power scaling, technical innovations, and scientific applications. An integrated ytterbium-Raman fiber amplifier architecture was proposed, which allows power scaling of Raman fiber laser to over ...

Single-frequency 1 W hybrid Brillouin/ytterbium fiber laser.

A high-power hybrid Brillouin/ytterbium fiber laser has been demonstrated with an output power of 1 W. The laser operates in the single-frequency regime with an optical signal-to-noise ratio greater than 55 dB in a 0.1 nm bandwidth.
