High-power laser with transverse mode filter

摘要

A single-transverse-mode laser has a gain medium and a single-transverse-mode fiber disposed within a resonance cavity. The single-transverse-mode fiber has a filter portion and a partial reflection portion. The filter portion of the single-transverse-mode fiber is coupled to the gain medium and disposed within the resonance cavity. The partial reflection portion of the single-transverse-mode fiber defines one end of the resonance cavity. The gain medium has a double-tapered structure.
