  • Abstract
    This article presents a work on Pr3+:ZBLAN-fibers, where GaN-laser diodes emitting at 443 nm are used to directly pump the fibers. Lasing is achieved at different transitions at red, cyan and green wavelengths. These visible transitions make this laser an interesting candidate for the light source in projection and display applications.
