ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber laser comprising a nearly pure fused silica glass, neodymium doped active core within a cavity in the form of a single mode optical fiber. The gain cavity is end pumped at a nominal wavelength of 0.8 microns and its length and neodymium concentration are adjusted to maximize pump absorption and minimize concentration quenching. Dichroic mirrors are preferably integrally formed on ends of the cavity and have reflection characteristics selected so that the laser has an output at a nominal wavelength of 1.06 microns.
