Fibre lasers

Solid-state lasers in which the gain medium is an active optical fibre - usually doped with rare earth elements (e.g. erbium, neodymium, ytterbium, thulium, etc.) - are named fibre lasers. With respect to other type of lasers, such lasers have the advantage to be able to output higher power, to have higher temperature and vibrational stability, and to present longer lifetimes; they also have the benefit of being more compact than other lasers (e.g. gas lasers) of comparable power. Such characteristics, coupled with their reduced cost, make them paramount in industrial and biomedical applications as well as for communications, and have driven the attention of the scientific community.
This Collection gathers original research in the topic of fibre lasers, spanning from the manufacturing and characterisation of a fibre laser system to its exploitation in exciting applications in engineering, biomedical, and natural science.

Submitting a paper for consideration
To submit your manuscript for consideration at Scientific Reports as part of this Collection, please follow the steps detailed on this page. On the first page of our online submission system, under “I’m submitting:” select the option “any other article type”. Once logged in you can submit your manuscript to a Collection by selecting “Guest Edited Collection”, under the “Choose the appropriate manuscript type” message, and clicking “Continue”. Then when filling out the manuscript information, select the "Fibre lasers" Collection from the alphabetical list on the “Springer Nature Subject Category” tab. Authors should express their interest in the Collection in their cover letter.
Accepted papers are published on a rolling basis as soon as they are ready.
