Toward a 10-W level femtosecond erbium laser operating in the 1600 nm low gain region by Haolin Yang, Ruili Zhang, Sailing He

“…1.6 µm ultrafast lasers are important in biomedical applications because the wavelength is located within an attractive biological window called the near-infrared-II (NIR-II) region. However, for erbium- or thulium-doped fibers, 1.6 μm is not their typical gain wavelength; therefore, realizing a high power femtosecond (fs) 1.6 μm laser is a challenging task. …”
