Abstract

Power scaling of high-power single-mode fiber lasers is limited primarily by three inter-dependent obstacles: Insufficient-pump-brightness, excess-heat-generation, and non-linearities in the fiber. In this paper, we review these challenges and describe a novel pumping approach which serves to overcome them. Article not available.
