Abstract
Ytterbium-doped silica fibers can offer very versatile laser sources in the 1-1.2-μm region with a wide range of possible pumps and operating wavelengths. In particular operation is possible from 980 nm to at least 1.18 μm.1,2 This range covers operation at 1.017 μm, suitable for up-conversion,3 or for the 1.3 μm amplifiei·4 in Pr3+ ZBLAN fiber, and operation at 1,12 μm suitable for up-conversion in Tm3+ ZBLAN.5
