Abstract

We present results on high-radiance quasi-single mode, high power, double clad, Er/Yb-doped fiber lasers with suitable output power for laser surgery in the 1550 nm wavelength region (central wavelength at 1545nm) and also suitable for optical coherence tomography (OCT), microsurgery, and skin resurfacing. We have demonstrated >5W from a co-doped fiber laser and a 5nm line-width.
