High power ytterbium (Yb<sup>3+</sup>)-doped fibre laser operating in the 1.12µm region

Results are presented for high power (>0.5W) Yb<sup>3+</sup> fibre laser operating at a wavelength of around 1120nm pumped either by Nd:YAG (1.064µm) or Nd:YLF (1.047µm) lasers. The use of this laser as a single-wavelength pump for a Tm<sup>3+</sup> ZBLAN upconversion fibe...
