First, the atomic energy level systems of erbium ions, ytterbium ions in glass fibers as well as erbium-ytterbium ions co-doped in glass fibers are introduced. Then, a highpower erbium/ytterbium co-doped fiber laser configured in a MOPA scheme is introduced. Finally, a high-power ytterbium-doped fiber laser emitting over one thousand watts is briefed.
