Fiber design for high-power fiber lasers

This paper reviews the progress in active fibers suitable for power scaling, highlighting the advances in fiber design that will enable the control of nonlinearities such as SRS and SBS in high power fiber lasers, as well as making feasible a practical high power three-level system.
