Novel slab-pumped, high-power, glass amplifiers and lasers

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

We will discuss novel slab wave guide coupler designs that allow for efficient incoherent diode pump light absorption in highly-doped, high gain, short length fiber amplifiers and lasers. In contrast to end pumping, the pump light is absorbed uniformly along the active material thereby avoiding problems associated with spatial hole-burning during laser operation.
