In this paper, we summarize the fundamental properties and review the latest developments
in high power fiber lasers. The review is focused primarily on the most common fiber laser …

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

The historical beginnings of photosensitivity and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology are
recounted. The basic techniques for fiber grating fabrication, their characteristics, and the …

Rare-Earth-Doped Fiber Lasers and Amplifiers, Second Edition discusses the essential
principles, operating characteristics, and current technology of the main fiber laser and …

The concept of random lasers exploiting multiple scattering of photons in an amplifying
disordered medium in order to generate coherent light without a traditional laser resonator …

We present a compact integrated fiber laser with more than 200 mW of output power. It
combines polarized fiber output with very narrow linewidth of less than 2 kHz. The …

The fiber-optic interferometric acoustic sensor array has established itself as a potential
alternative to the conventional sonar array based on electroceramic transducers. In this …

The distributed feedback (DFB) fiber laser strain sensor has demonstrated strain resolution
comparable to that obtained from high-performance fiber-optic interferometry. This …

We report the implementation of a one-dimensional random laser based on an Er/Ge co-
doped single-mode fiber with randomly spaced Bragg gratings. The random grating array …

This paper describes the design and operation of a stable narrow-linewidth linearly
polarized fiber ring laser using a polarization-maintaining (PM) erbium-doped fiber as a …
