Highly doped phosphate glass fibers for compact lasers and amplifiers: a review
In recent years, the exploitation of compact laser sources and amplifiers in fiber form hasfound extensive applications in industrial and scientific fields. The fiber format offers compactness,high beam quality through single-mode regime and excellent heat dissipation, thus leading to highlaser reliability and long-term stability. The realization of devices based on this technology requiresan active medium with high optical gain over a short length to increase efficiency while mitigatingnonlinear optical effects. Multicomponent phosphate glasses meet these requirements thanks to thehigh solubility of rare-earth ions in their glass matrix, alongside with high emission cross-sections,chemical stability and high optical damage threshold. In this paper, we review recent advances inthe field thanks to the combination of highly-doped phosphate glasses and innovative fiber drawingtechniques. We also present the main performance achievements and outlook both in continuouswave (CW) and pulsed mode regimes.

Abstract
In recent years, the exploitation of compact laser sources and amplifiers in fiber form hasfound extensive applications in industrial and scientific fields. The fiber format offers compactness,high beam quality through single-mode regime and excellent heat dissipation, thus leading to highlaser reliability and long-term stability. The realization of devices based on this technology requiresan active medium with high optical gain over a short length to increase efficiency while mitigatingnonlinear optical effects. Multicomponent phosphate glasses meet these requirements thanks to thehigh solubility of rare-earth ions in their glass matrix, alongside with high emission cross-sections,chemical stability and high optical damage threshold. In this paper, we review recent advances inthe field thanks to the combination of highly-doped phosphate glasses and innovative fiber drawingtechniques. We also present the main performance achievements and outlook both in continuouswave (CW) and pulsed mode regimes.
