Abstract

The advent of low-loss fluoride fibers has led to the demonstration of numerous room-temperature lasers based on rare-earth transitions at wavelengths ranging from 0.38 to 3.45 υm. Fluoride fiber lasers are of interest because they provide a means of generating laser output at wavelengths for which there are currently few or no solid-state laser sources, particularly in the spectral regions under 0.63 mm and above 2.0 υm. This chapter provides an overview of the current status of the field of upconversion-pumped visible fiber lasers.
