Abstract :
We review and discuss the recent advances in high-power fibre lasers with a particular focus on novel fibre technology, which includes conventional double-clad, large-core fibres for continuous-wave generation, double-clad passive-core fibres for Raman conversion, microstructured fibres for four-wave mixing, all-solid photonic bandgap fibres for waveguide filtering, etc.
