Abstract
Lasers built on crystalline fibers are capable of producing significantly higher power output per fiber compared to their glass counterparts. This paper explores the barriers for the adoption and implementation of crystal fibers in high-power laser systems and recent advances in crystal fiber fabrication and testing. An overview and update of the crystal fiber work at NRL will be presented.
