Abstract :
We have presented a holey fiber Raman laser pumped by a continuous wave Yb-doped fiber laser. We believe this to be the first such device presented the literature. In one configuration we were able to launch up to 5.5 W of pump power into the holey fiber, with a cw power density of 0.2 GW/cm2.
