A fiber laser having at least one pair of reflectors coupled to an optical fiber, the at least one pair of reflectors defining an optical cavity between the at least one pair of reflectors and being configured to reflect light within the optical cavity. At least one light pump is coupled to the optical fiber and configured to provide pump light into the optical cavity, and at least one medium is positioned within the optical cavity and configured to generate signal light from the pump light in the optical cavity. Further, at least one grating positioned within the optical cavity and configured to couple the signal light out of the optical cavity.
A fiber laser comprising:
An optical assembly, comprising:
A fiber laser comprising:
26 The fiber laser according to claim 20, wherein the grating is formed at least partially within the medium.
The fiber laser according to claim 29, wherein the tilted grating comprises a grating that is tilted with a grating plane at 45 degrees with respect to an axis of the fiber.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
