LD-Pumped Random Fiber Laser Based on Erbium-Ytterbium Co-Doped Fiber

Abstract In this paper, a cladding-pumped erbium-ytterbium co-doped random fiber laser (EYRFL) operating at 1550 nm with high power laser diode (LD) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated for the first time. The laser cavity includes a 5-m-long erbium-ytterbium co-doped fiber that serves as the...
