   Fiber lasers are a very special kind of optical fiber. They do not just transport preexisting laser light. They generate it. Let’s find out how fiber lasers work. At the center of all optical fibers is the core. This is where the light is contained thanks to total internal reflection. In the case of fiber lasers, the core (usually silica glass) contains atoms of rare-earth elements, c...
