Hybrid’ Bulk/Fiber Lasers Provide Best of Both Worlds

A new word is working its way into the laser lexicon: hybrid. Although the word has several connotations in the English language, the new usage applies to conventional bulk solid-state lasers (i.e., those with laser rods) that are pumped efficiently with fiber lasers. They combine the fundamental advantages of fiber and bulk architectures and avoid the pitfalls of both. For four decades, the...
