Abstract
In this paper, we emphasize that despite the recent rapid increase of output power from different fibre sources, the power is still limited by available pump sources rather than by fibre properties. We review the current state of the art of cw fibre lasers and discuss the prospect of further power-scaling of a single-strand fibre laser into multi-kilowatt regime, as required for some industrial manufacturing applications
