Abstract
The recent demonstration of rare-earth-doped fiber lasers with a continuous wave output power well above the kilowatt level with diffraction-limited beam quality has proven that fiber lasers constitute a power-scalable solid-state laser concept. To generate intense pulses from a fiber, several fundamental limitations have to be overcome. Nevertheless, novel experimental strategies and fiber designs offer an enormous potential toward laser systems with high average powers and high pulse energies. This paper reviews the challenges, achievements, and perspectives of ultrashort pulse generation and amplification in fibers.
