3.7 W fluoride glass Raman fiber laser operating at 2231 nm

Opt Express. 2012 Aug 13;20(17):19412-9. doi: 10.1364/OE.20.019412.

Abstract

The first demonstration of a multi-watt continuous wave fluoride glass Raman fiber laser operating beyond 2.2 μm is reported. A maximum output power of 3.7 W was obtained from a nested cavity setup with a laser slope efficiency of 15% with respect to the launched pump power.
