Phosphate Glass based Fiber Lasers( )

Phosphate Glass based Fiber Lasers

Abstract:   Phosphate glasses are excellent host materials for lasers using rare-earth ion transitions. Combining highly-doped phosphate glasses and advanced fiber drawing techniques, we developed phosphate glass fiber lasers and will review recent advances in their performance.
