Fiber lasers have seen progressive developments in terms of spectral coverage and linewidth, output power, pulse energy, and ultrashort pulse width since the first demonstration of a glass fiber laser in 1964. Their applications have extended into a variety of fields accordingly. In this paper, the milestones of glass fiber laser development are briefly reviewed and recent advances of high-power continuous wave, Q-switched, mode-locked, and single-frequency fiber lasers in the 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 μm regions and their applications in such areas as industry, medicine, research, defense, and security are addressed in detail.
自1964年首次展示玻璃光纤激光器以来，光纤激光器在光谱覆盖范围和线宽、输出功率、脉冲能量以及超短脉冲宽度方面都取得了不断的进展。相应地，它们的应用也扩展到了各个领域。本文简要回顾了玻璃光纤激光器发展的里程碑，并详细介绍了1μm、1.5μm、2μm和3μm波段高功率连续波、调Q、锁模和单频光纤激光器的最新进展及其在工业、医学、科研、国防和安全等领域的应用。
