Continuous-wave diode-pumped solid-state laser with an intracavity fiber Bragg grating

Appl Opt. 2002 Oct 20;41(30):6356-9. doi: 10.1364/ao.41.006356.

Abstract

We demonstrate the feasibility of a new concept of laser that benefits from both fiber and laser crystals: a cw diode-pumped solid-state laser with an intracavity fiber Bragg grating as the output coupler. The design of the laser cavity and the experimental demonstration are both described. Several applications are mentioned.
