Thermal characteristics of an end-pumped high-power ytterbium-sensitized erbium-doped fiber laser under natural convection

We investigate the thermal characteristics of a polymer-clad fiber laser under natural convection when it is strongly pumped up to the damage point of the fiber. For this, we utilize a temperature sensing technique based on a fiber Bragg grating sensor array. We have measured the longitudinal temper...
