Abstract:For the first time, to our knowledge, an all-solid transverse Anderson
localizing optical fiber laser is demonstrated. A combination of the
molten core and stack-and-draw fiber fabrication techniques is used to
produce a 112 µm core diameter fiber that is a random array of
Yb-doped high index and passive low index regions. A localized channel
first assists in the guidance of amplified spontaneous emission before
stimulating laser action, which occurs in the same channel via mixed
