Abstract
Fiber lasers are normally considered to be low-power devices and not competitive with diode-pumped Nd:YAG lasers. However, by employing special glass fiber technology and a novel inner-cladding geometry we demonstrate here a Nd3+-doped single-mode fiber laser emitting an output power of 1.07 W at a wavelength of 1.057 μm.
