Fiber lasers have seen progressive developments in terms of spectral coverage and
linewidth, output power, pulse energy, and ultrashort pulse width since the first …

In this paper we present a review of holmium-doped silica fibre based sources. We discuss
recent demonstrations of an efficient cladding-pumped fibre geometry and the impact it has …

Power scaling of fiber lasers is challenged by several factors, such as the brightness of the
pump source, the nonlinear effect, modal instability, and so on. Pumping active fibers with …

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 …

We present a tunable, high power cladding-pumped holmium doped fiber laser. The laser
generated> 15 W CW average power across a wavelength range of 2.043–2.171 μm, with a …

In this article we proposed a one-dimensional (1D) silicon photonic-crystal (PC) as a highly
sensitive pressure sensor to measure the applied hydrostatic pressure. A 1D flexible silicon …

We present review on recent progress on mid-infrared fiber lasers. The relevant glass fiber
host materials and different kinds of doped rare-earth ions are introduced. Lasers operating …

We report the highest power operation of a resonantly cladding-pumped, holmium-doped
silica fibre laser. The cladding pumped all-glass fibre utilises a fluorine doped glass layer to …

In this brief review we consider the relatively new design of the pulsed fiber lasers, namely
lasers with the fiber saturable absorber (FSA). Main advantage of this design consists in a …

We demonstrate sub-picosecond holmium-doped fiber laser mode-locked with a broadband
carbon nanotube saturable absorber. Ultrashort pulse operation has been obtained for the …
