High‐power laser sources are widely used in industrial precision processing and act as a
new platform for strong‐field physics research using peak power over petawatt. This review …

The success of high-power fiber lasers is fueled by maturation of active and passive fibers,
combined with the availability of high-power fiber-based components. In this contribution, we …

For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the design and characterization of a 3× 1
fused fiber combiner based on multimode step-index fluoroindate optical fibers (InF_3) has …

The fiber laser, with its humble beginning in the late 1980s, has undergone tremendous
development in the past decade or so, transforming itself from a research curiosity to a major …

Low noise, high power single-frequency lasers and amplifiers are key components of
interferometric gravitational wave detectors. One way to increase the detector sensitivity is to …

Abstract Space-division multiplexing (SDM), whereby multiple spatial channels in multimode
and multicore optical fibres are used to increase the total transmission capacity per fibre, is …

Next-generation gravitational wave detectors require single-frequency and high power
lasers at a wavelength of 1.5 µm addressing a set of demanding requirements such as …

At the beginning of 2016, the first direct detection of a gravitational wave by a laser-based
Michelson interferometer has been reported. So far, the number of confirmed detections has …

We present a high-core-count 32-core multicore erbium/ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier (32c-
MC-EYDFA) in a cladding pumped configuration. A side pumping technique is employed for …

We describe a series of optical transmission experiments based around single-mode, multi-
core fiber (MCF) amplified with 19-core, C+ L band erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) …
