Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a laser gain optical fiber and a preparation method, in particular to a mid-infrared gain sulfide optical fiber and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] 2.5-5 μm mid-infrared lasers have important applications in the fields of infrared countermeasures, atmospheric sensing, environmental monitoring, and biomedicine, and have received extensive attention in the past few decades. At present, optical parametric oscillator (OPO) and quantum cascade laser (QCL) are widely used mid-infrared laser sources. However, the OPO system is complex, QCL has laser stability problems, and both are relatively expensive, these shortcomings limit its practical application. Solid-state lasers based on active ion-doped gain media usually have the advantages of high integration, high efficiency and low cost, and have attracted much attention in recent years. Currently, one of the main problems facing mid-infrared solid-state lasers is...
