Abstract
An ytterbium doped core has been incorporated into a photonic crystal fibre
(PCF) with anomalous group velocity dispersion at all wavelengths longer t
han 730nm. Laser action is observed for the first time in such a fibre. Thi
s demonstration of lasing in PCF is a vital step towards realising the huge
potential of PCF for fibre laser applications.
