Abstract
Highly-doped phosphate glasses provide significantly higher gain than regular silica doped glasses. We will discuss a novel design strategy for compact, high gain, double clad and photonic crystal fiber lasers and amplifiers. Modeling tools include higher order finite element-based vector modal solvers for passive and active single and multi-core devices, optical and thermal transport and mechanical stress calculations for high power laser operation.
