Abstract: Rare-earth doped phosphate, silicate, germanate, and tellurite glasses and their fibers have been studied and developed for fiber amplifiers and lasers. Many unique lasers and optical components have been developed and successfully commercialized by utilizing these innovative glass fibers. Single frequency CW and pulsed fiber lasers at 1 micron, 1.55 micron and 2 micron wavelengths are widely used for coherent lidar and fiber sening applications. All-fiber isolator could be a critical component of high-power laser system for defense applications. Both nanosecond and picosecond lasers were demonstrated at IR, green and UV wavelengths, which have been used laser materials processing for glass and ceramic industry.

Key words: Rare-earth doped glasses, rare-earth dopec fibers, lasers, fiber lasers, laser materials processing
