The success of high-power fiber lasers is fueled by maturation of active and passive fibers, combined with the availability of high-power fiber-based components. In this contribution, we first overview the enormous potential of rare-earth doped fibers in spectral coverage and recent developments of key fiber-based components employed in high-power laser systems. Subsequently, the emerging functional active and passive fibers in recent years, which exhibit tremendous advantages in balancing or mitigating parasitic nonlinearities hindering high-power transmission, are outlined from the perspectives of geometric and material engineering. Finally, novel functional applications of conventional fiber-based components for nonlinear suppression or spatial mode selection, and correspondingly, the high-power progress of function fiber-based components in power handling are introduced, which suggest more flexible controllability on high-power laser operations.

The development of selffrequency doubling lasers has been significantly limited owing to the thermal effect.To reduce the thermal effect of lasers and obtain higher beam quality yellow laser output, a Yb∶ YCOB selffrequency doubling crystal yellow laser pumped by a 1020 -nm laser is proposed. The influence of the thermal lens effect, because of the selffrequency doubling crystalabsorbing pump light energy, on the phase matching condition during the process of optical frequency doubling is explained on the basis of a theoretical analysis. Furthermore, the analysis also yields an explanation for the improvement in the quality of the 1020 -nm singleband pumping mode beam, as compared with that of the traditional 976 -nm laser diode pumping mode. A 570 -nm yellow laser with higher beam quality is obtained through experiments. The beam quality factors correspond to M 2 x = 1. 41 and M 2 y = 1. 87. The results indicate that the quality of the outgoing beam at a wavelength of 1020 nm is significantly higher than that at 976 nm, and the spectrum width is narrower. The results of the study play a guiding role in reducing the thermal effect of Yb∶ YCOB selffrequency doubling lasers and obtaining highpower yellow lasers with higher beam quality and narrower spectrum width.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
