The rise in output power from rare-earth-doped fiber sources over the past decade, via the
use of cladding-pumped fiber architectures, has been dramatic, leading to a range of fiber …

Fibers are undeniably one of the most successful solid-state active media for lasers to date.
The reason is to be found in the thin elongated geometry of the fiber which, in contrast to …

Combinatorial optimization problems over large and complex systems have many
applications in social networks, image processing, artificial intelligence, computational …

We report an experimental test of single-shot polarimetry applied to the problem of real-time
monitoring of the output polarization states in each core within a multicore fiber bundle. The …

The rapid development of information and communication technology has driven the
demand for higher data transmission rates. Multi-core optical fiber, with its ability to transmit …

Femtosecond inscription of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) in each core of a cladding-pumped
seven-core Yb-doped fiber enables efficient (≈ 70%) 1064-nm lasing in a robust all-fiber …

Multi-core fibers (MCFs) with coupled-cores are attractive large-mode area (LMA) specialty
fiber designs that support the propagation of a few transverse modes often called …

We investigate mode-area scaling by means of supermode operation in an all-solid
multicore fiber. To obtain a large-mode area (LMA), we designed and fabricated an active …

Talbot diffraction, together with Fourier filtering, are incorporated into a degenerate laser
cavity to demonstrate efficient and controlled phase locking of hundreds of coupled lasers …

At the Dawn of the 21st century, the field of specialty optical fibers experienced a scientific
revolution with the introduction of the stack-and-draw technique, a multi-steps and advanced …
