  • Abstract
    Fibre lasers are attractive candidates as sources for fibre devices. Certain applications, such as distributed sensing, require short duration pulses of reasonable energy ~1 μJ: other applications, for example current monitors, require single polarisation operation. The authors demonstrate that both requirements can be met by diode pumped fibre lasers. Results are present for Nd3+ doped silica fibres, fabricated by the solution doping technique
