Abstract

A multimode fiber laser (40) is provided for generating a laser wave having multiple modes disposed about the desired laser wavelength. The laser includes a pump source (44) for generating a laser pump wave, and an optical fiber (42) disposed in a laser cavity. The cavity itself is defined by an input mirror (11) and an output mirror (12) which may be provided as endfaces (46 and 48) of fiber optic section (42). The fiber optic section may be a ytterbium, erbium co-doped phosphate glass optical fiber.
