We have developed a Watt-level random laser at 532 nm. The laser is based on a 1064 nm random distributed ytterbium-gain assisted fiber laser seed with a 0.35 nm line-width 900mW polarized output power. A study for the optimal length of the random distributed mirror was carried out. An ytterbium-doped fiber master oscillator power amplifier architecture is used to amplify the random seeder laser without additional spectral broadening up to 20 W. By using a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal in a single pass configuration we generate in excess of 1 W random laser at 532 nm by second harmonic generation with an efficiency of 9 %. The green random laser exhibits an instability <1 %, optical signal to noise ratio >70 dB, 0.1 nm linewidth and excellent beam quality.

We have developed a Watt-level single-frequency tunable fiber laser in the 915-937 nm spectral window. The laser is based on a neodymium-doped fiber master oscillator power amplifier architecture, with two amplification stages using a 20 mW extended cavity diode laser as seed. The system output power is higher than 2 W from 921 to 933 nm, with a stability better than 1.4 percent and a low relative intensity noise.
Rare-earth-doped fiber lasers are emerging as promising high-power mid-infrared sources for the 2.6-3.0 {mu}m and 3.3-3.8 {mu}m regions based on erbium and holmium ions. The intermediate wavelength range, however, remains vastly underserved, despite prospects for important manufacturing and defense applications. Here, we demonstrate the potential of dysprosium-doped fiber to solve this problem, with a simple in-band pumped grating-stabilized linear cavity generating up to 1.06 W at 3.15 {mu}m. A slope efficiency of 73% with respect to launched power (77% relative to absorbed power) is achieved: the highest value for any mid-infrared fiber laser to date, to the best of our knowledge. Opportunities for further power and efficiency scaling are also discussed.
We present a laser frequency comb based upon a 250 MHz mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser that spans more than 300 terahertz of bandwidth, from 660 nm to 2000 nm. The system generates 1.2 nJ, 70 fs pulses at 1050 nm by amplifying the 1580 nm laser light in Er:fiber, followed by nonlinear broadening to 1050 nm and amplification in Yb:fiber. Extension of the frequency comb into the visible is achieved by supercontinuum generation from the 1050 nm light. Comb coherence is verified with cascaded f-2f interferometry and comparison to a frequency stabilized laser.
We investigate the effects of two dimensional confinement on the lasing properties of a classical random laser system operating in the incoherent feedback (diffusive) regime. A suspension of 250nm rutile (TiO2) particles in a Rhodamine 6G solution was inserted into the hollow core of a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) generating the first random fiber laser and a novel quasi-one-dimensional RL geometry. Comparison with similar systems in bulk format shows that the random fiber laser presents an efficiency that is at least two orders of magnitude higher.
We present a metallic zinc indiffused diced ridge waveguide in magnesium doped periodically poled lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) capable of generating over 1 W of 780 nm with 70% efficiency. Our 40 mm long waveguide has near circular fundamental mode output with diameter 10.4 um and insertion loss of -1.17 dB. Using a commercial 2 W EDFA-based system, the SHG output power did not exhibit roll-off at maximum available pump power.
