ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber laser comprising a gain cavity in the form of a single mode optical fiber with integrally formed dichroic mirror end sections to provide feedback. The fiber core comprises a host material of silicate glass preferably doped with 0.01 to 1 weight percent of just erbium oxide as a lasing medium. The laser is end pumped at approximately 1.49 micrometers with a laser diode, preferably InGaAsP, and has an output at 1.54 micrometers.
