“…ZBLAN glass fibers have found widespread interest in fiber lasers [37,[212][213][214] and supercontinuum generation applications [215][216][217][218]. The combination of low nonlinearity, MIR transmission up to 5 μm, and low optical loss make ZBLAN particularly well suited for high-power lasing and beam delivery applications.…”

Infrared (IR) fibers offer a versatile approach to guiding and manipulating light in the IR spectrum, which is becoming increasingly more prominent in a variety of scientific disciplines and technological applications. Despite well-established efforts on the fabrication of IR fibers in past decades, a number of remarkable breakthroughs have recently rejuvenated the field-just as related areas in IR optical technology are reaching maturation. In this review, we describe both the history and recent developments in the design and fabrication of IR fibers, including IR glass and single-crystal fibers, multimaterial fibers, and fibers that exploit the transparency window of traditional crystalline semiconductors. This interdisciplinary review will be of interest to researchers in optics and photonics, materials science, and electrical engineering.

“…These long lifetimes trap ions and prevent them from returning to the ground state after lasing which depletes the ground state and reduces pump absorption. Therefore, the high quantum defect for the longer transitions, combined with less mature glasses and compounded by less efficient pump sources [23] are the main reasons behind the declining trend in laser power shown in Fig. 1.…”

Nonsilica oxide glasses have been developed and studied for many years as promising alternatives to the most used silica glass for the development of optical fiber lasers with unique features and properties. Depending on the glass former of choice, these glasses can offer very distinctive physical properties if compared to silica-based glasses. With regard to the development of photonic fiber devices, these key properties include low phonon energy, high rare-earth ion solubility, high optical nonlinearity and easy handling procedures. This chapter, part I of a detailed study concerning nonsilica oxide glass-based optical fiber laser sources, reviews the main properties of three different nonsilica oxide glass families, namely phosphate, germanate and tellurite. The manufacturing process of an optical fiber using these glass materials is also discussed in Section 3 of this chapter.
