  • Abstract
    In this talk we will review the fundamental properties of Tm:silica and our understanding of the fundamental operational limits of the material compared to other fiber lasers. We also review the current status of the technology and describe efforts to further increase the power levels in a variety of operational modes. Finally, we will show some applications of Tm:silica laser systems.
