Abstract
Fiber lasers based on praseodymium-ytterbium doped fluoride glass fibers with silica fiber pigtails offer a wide range of different configurations. Here we present results of such fiber lasers in different ring configurations in an all-fiber setup. The fiber lasers are pumped with pigtailed laser diodes at 845 nm and deliver output powers up to 20 mW at 635 nm.
