Abstract :
The paper reports on the experimental results showing that short length (7 cm) phosphate fiber lasers generates more than 9.3 W multimode and 4.0 W single mode output power. To the authors´ knowledge, the power generated per unit fiber length of 1.33 W/cm represents a record in fiber laser field. This research opens possibilities to develop on-chip watt-level single-frequency light sources at the 1550 nm wavelength band.
