An all-fiber device platform for producing high-power ROGB or RGB laser
output comprises an optical fiber including multiple waveguide gain
regions embedded within a common inner cladding and within an outer
cladding, an optical cavity defined by dielectric reflectors and/or FBG
mirrors, and a pump source for exciting one or more active ionic species
by one or multiple pump wavelengths from one or both ends of the optical
fiber through upconversion process. An apparatus for producing sequential
or simultaneous multiple wavelength laser operation provides for
applications of color projection displays and biomedical or other
instrumentation.
