1.43-μm fiber laser for medical applications

A 1.43 micrometers fiber laser with an output power of 1.4 W is reported. The laser is based on Raman conversion of the Yb- fiber laser emission in a phosphorous doped fiber. The light conversion is based on both phosphorous and silica Raman shifts in the same P-doped fiber. This device can find medical applications, since its emission wavelength coincides with one of the water absorption bands.
