Abstract

We report the design, fabrication, and operation of an air-clad holmium-doped fiber laser that was manufactured by directly milling the rare-earth-doped preform. This silica fiber laser operates at 2.1 μm with a slope efficiency of 49.7%, and is in-band pumped with a 1.94-μm thulium fiber laser. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of an air-clad holmium-doped fiber laser.
