Advances in Fiber Lasers
Abstract
A laboratory has been established in the Photonics Center at Boston University to investigate novel processes for high power optical fiber lasers, the performance of the lasers themselves, and various laser based optical fiber sensors. Work has been focused on a novel aerosol process for the fabrication of rare earth doped fiber lasers. We have recently proposed a new concept in laser cavity design that permits a large number of end pumping ports in a traveling wave configuration. This makes use of a yttrium vanadate polarizing prism used in conjunction with multiple gain sources, pumps and 1/4 wave phase retarders.
