Assessment of Factors Involved in Laser Fiber Degradation with Thulium Fiber Laser
Journal of Endourology, 2022Objectives: To assess the effect of various factors on laser fiber tip degradation with the thulium fiber laser (Tm-fiber): fiber stripping, adjustable laser settings (energy, frequency, peak power), and stone density. Methods: Two hundred seventy-three micrometer fibers were used with a 50W Tm-fiber.

Thulium fiber laser lithotripsy using tapered fibers
Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2010AbstractIntroductionThe Thulium fiber laser has recently been tested as a potential alternative to the Holmium:YAG laser for lithotripsy. This study explores use of a short taper for expanding the Thulium fiber laser beam at the distal tip of a small‐core fiber.MethodsThulium fiber laser radiation with a wavelength of 1,908 nm, 10 Hz pulse rate, 70 mJ ...

Thulium fiber laser lithotripsy
SPIE Proceedings, 2009Complications during laser lithotripsy include optical fiber bending failure resulting in endoscope damage and low irrigation rates leading to poor visibility. Both problems are related to fiber diameter and limited by the Holmium:YAG laser (λ = 2120 nm) multimode beam profile.

Thulium fiber pumped tunable Ho:CaF_2 laser
Optics Letters, 2017The paper reports the first room-temperature operation of the in-band pumped Ho:CaF2 laser. A set of Ho:CaF2 crystals varying in holmium concentrations (from 0.1 up to 2.5 mol. % of HoF2), synthesized using the Bridgeman technique, was used for lasing and related spectroscopy investigation.

Monolithic thulium-doped fiber laser
Photonics, Devices, and Systems VII, 2017In this contribution we report and discuss the results of laser characterizations of experimental thulium-doped optical fibers. These active fibers were fabricated in house and were tested in two laser systems to verify their characteristics. The first one, a monolithic fiber laser, was of great interest to us due to its potentially lower overall ...
