The diverse output pulsewidths, linewidths and polarization states of fibre lasers provide
both high efficiency and high output power in a small, low-maintenance format that is ideal …

The infrared domain is very attractive for many applications owing to two unique features:(i)
it contains several atmospheric transparency windows,(ii) it corresponds to the 'molecular …

The mid-infrared fiber lasers in the 2–3.5 μm spectral regions have been extensively applied
in many application fields, such as biomedicine, telecommunications, military and nonlinear …

Quasi-three-level solid-state lasers using trivalent rare earth ions are efficient sources in the
near-and mid-infrared spectral regions. Their unique properties arise from special energy …

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 …

Tm-doped ZBLAN and Tm-doped silica glass are compared spectroscopically and the fiber
lasing of the Tm 3 F 4→ 3 H 6 transition around 1.9 μm in ZBLAN and silica fibers is …

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 …

Fiber lasers are becoming new effective sources for coherent lidars, thanks to their spatial
and spectral qualities. Allowing operation in continuous, modulated and pulsed modes, their …

In this paper, we report on a high-power and widely tunable thulium-doped fiber laser
(TDFL) based on a monolithic master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system. The master …

Thulium-doped fiber lasers (TDFLs) have had the second highest growth in average output
power next to ytterbium-doped fiber lasers. This has been enabled by access to high power …
