Abstract

The performance of TM³⁺ and Pr³⁺-doped ZBLAN fibre lasers at blue, green, and red wavelengths, both pumped efficiently with the output of Yb³⁺-doped silica fibre lasers is presented in the paper. The Yb³⁺-doped silica laser, which in principle can be pumped with diodes at 840 nm and 975 nm, has been shown to provide a convenient and efficient means of obtaining the pump wavelengths required for the upconversion in both Tm³⁺ and Pr³⁺-doped ZBLAN fibre from which significant powers at 480, 493, 520 and 635 nm can be achieved.
