Method and apparatus for ensuring a uniform temperature profile in ribbon fiber lasers and amplifiers
Abstract
A uniform temperature profile is provided across the width of the core of a ribbon fiber laser or amplifier by the use of insulating elements at the core edges and a spatially variable gain in the fiber core. High average power ribbon fibers, enable a variety of applications such as practical laser cutting and beam combining.
