“…Fiber lasers, though born at almost the same time as groundbreaking inventions of laser and single-mode optical fiber in sixties, have been waiting for to their golden times several decades [1][2][3] and now they outperform other laser sources by high brightness and beam quality, efficient pumping, enhanced cooling, and compactness [4][5][6][7][8]. Despite the rapid progress of fiber laser technology, especially in the new millennium, many issues have to be resolved and new fiber designs are investigated.…”
