Summary:

A fibre laser is a laser in which the active gain medium is an optical fibre doped with rare-earth elements such as erbium, ytterbium, neodymium, dysprosium, praseodymium, and thulium. Applications of fibre lasers include material processing, telecommunications, spectroscopy, and medicine.
