Fluoride and chalcogenide glass fiber components for mid-infrared lasers and amplifiers: Breakthroughs, challenges, and future perspective

Since the early 1990s, when researchers began to explore rare-earth-doped mid-infrared glass fibers, fiber laser systems have emerged as promising high-brightness light sources with wavelengths beyond 2.5 μm for applications in spectroscopy and sensing, optical communications and ranging, and proces...
