Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A low-power “all-in-one” Yb/Raman optical fiber laser system includes a pump input, and a Yb/Raman resonator including a segment of integrated Yb/Raman fiber configured to provide both a ionic gain and Raman gain. A set of input gratings and output gratings define a series of reflector pairs that, together with the integrated Yb/Raman fiber, create a nested series of cavities that provide a stepwise transition from the input wavelength to a selected target output wavelength.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An integrated Yb/Raman optical fiber laser configuration, comprising: a resonator comprising a length of integrated Yb/Raman optical fiber configured to function as both a Yb-doped fiber laser and a Raman gain fiber, wherein the integrated optical fiber has a set of input gratings at an input portion of the fiber and a set of output gratings at an output portion of the fiber, wherein the sets of input and output gratings define a series of reflector pairs that create…
