Ho-doped silica fibre laser in-band pumped by a Tm-doped fibre laser
Over the last few years there has been increasing interest in power-scaling of fibre-based sources operating in the eyesafe two-micron wavelength regime driven by a range of applications. Much of this interest has focussed on Tm-doped silica fibres which offer wide spectral coverage from ~1.7 µm to ~2.1 µm [1], a range of pump wavelengths and the potential to be scaled to very high powers [2]. By contrast, far less attention has been directed towards Ho-doped silica fibres which also offer a very wide range of emission wavelengths extending well beyond 2.1 µm.

Abstract
Over the last few years there has been increasing interest in power-scaling of fibre-based sources operating in the eyesafe two-micron wavelength regime driven by a range of applications. Much of this interest has focussed on Tm-doped silica fibres which offer wide spectral coverage from ~1.7 µm to ~2.1 µm [1], a range of pump wavelengths and the potential to be scaled to very high powers [2]. By contrast, far less attention has been directed towards Ho-doped silica fibres which also offer a very wide range of emission wavelengths extending well beyond 2.1 µm.
