Abstract
We present review on recent progress on mid-infrared fiber lasers. The relevant glass fiber host materials and different kinds of doped rare-earth ions are introduced. Lasers operating from 1.9 to 3 μm in the rare-earth ions Tm3+, Ho3+, Er3+, and Dy3+ in the recent two years are discussed. Three interesting research issues, i.e., supercontinuum generation based on mid-infrared fiber laser, mid-infrared Raman fiber laser, and coherent beam combining in the mid-infrared wavelength band are classified and analyzed. Some discussions and prospective predictions are proposed at the end of this paper.
