Ultracompact cladding-pumped 35 - mm -short fiber laserwith 4.7 - W single-mode output power

We report on ultracompact cladding-pumped fiber lasers, fabricated from single-mode phosphate glass microstructured optical fibers, with several watts of cw output at 1.5 μ m . A maximum cw output power of 4.7 W has been achieved from a fiber laser that is only 35 mm in length, corresponding to a yi...

Description
Summary:We report on ultracompact cladding-pumped fiber lasers, fabricated from single-mode phosphate glass microstructured optical fibers, with several watts of cw output at 1.5 μ m . A maximum cw output power of 4.7 W has been achieved from a fiber laser that is only 35 mm in length, corresponding to a yield of 1.34 W ∕ cm of active microstructured fiber.
