The generation of unwanted higher-order Raman effects is the main factor restricting the power scaling of Raman fiber amplifiers (RFAs). This phenomenon arises from an interplay of physical processes, including stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), four-wave mixing (FWM), and the intricate temporal and spectral dynamics. Tapered fibers have demonstrated excellent nonlinear effects suppression characteristics due to the varying core diameter along the fiber, which is widely used in ytterbium-doped fiber lasers. In this paper, a comprehensive numerical investigation is conducted on the core-pumping tapered fiber RFAs considering Raman-assisted FWM. The higher-order Raman power in the tapered fiber is always kept at a low level, showing a weak Raman-assisted FWM effect. A numerical investigation is conducted to study the impact of the tapering ratio, the lengths of the thin part, tapered region, and thick part on the higher-order Raman threshold of RFAs. Furthermore, the impact of phase mismatch variations caused by changes in the seed wavelength, on the output signal power and nonlinear effects is analyzed. This paper presents, for the first time, a study on core-pumped RFAs using tapered fibers, providing a novel perspective on enhancing the power of RFAs. Full article

AC Stark shifts have an impact on the dynamics of atoms interacting with a near-resonant quantized single-mode cavity field, which is relevant to a single atom micromaser. In this study, we demonstrate that, when the field is in a squeezed coherent state, atomic lineshapes are highly sensitive to the squeezing parameter. Furthermore, we show that, when considering a superposition of squeezed coherent states with equal amplitude, the displacement of the transition lines depends significantly, not only on the squeezing parameter, but also on its sign.

Advancements in laser glass compositions and manufacturing techniques has allowed the development of a new category of high-energy and high-power laser systems which are being used in various applications, such as for fundamental research, material processing and inertial confinement fusion (ICF) technologies research. A ceramic laser is a remarkable revolution in solid state lasers. It exhibits crystalline properties, high yields, better thermal conductivity, a uniformly broadened emission cross-section, and a higher mechanical constant. Polycrystalline ceramic lasers combine the properties of glasses and crystals, which offer the unique advantages of high thermal stability, excellent optical transparency, and the ability to incorporate active laser ions homogeneously. They are less expensive and have a similar fabrication process to glass lasers. Recent developments in these classes of lasers have led to improvements in their efficiency, beam quality, and wavelength versatility, making them suitable for a broad range of applications, such as scientific research requiring ultra-fast laser pulses, medical procedures like laser surgery and high-precision cutting and welding in industrial manufacturing. The future of ceramic lasers looks promising, with ongoing research focused on enhancing their performance, developing new doping materials and expanding their functional wavelengths. The ongoing progress in high-power ceramic lasers is continuously expanding the limits of laser technology, therefore allowing the development of more powerful and efficient systems for a wide range of advanced and complex applications. In this paper, we review the advances, limitations and future perspectives of ceramic lasers. Full article
