Abstract
The tandem pumping technique has been proven effective in power scaling of fiber lasers, which enabled the most powerful high-brightness fiber lasers to date. However, further performance improvement of tandem-pumped fiber lasers is challenged by the contradiction between nonlinearity suppression and good beam quality maintaining. To address these challenges, researchers from worldwide devoted to expediting the development of high-power tandem-pumped fiber lasers, and a series of new results and new applications emerged in recent years. This paper will highlight the recent advances in the enabling techniques of high-brightness tandem-pumped fiber lasers and the new applications of tandem pumping since the first review paper on this topic in 2017. A brief outlook on the further development of tandem pumping technique is also given.
