Abstract
Theoretical analyses show that the use of high-numerical-aperture (NA) fibers can significantly increase the conversion efficiency of a blue -doped fluoride fiber upconversion laser and reduce the pump-power threshold. A record high efficiency of and a low 1017-nm threshold of were achieved experimentally with a fiber with a NA of .
