Abstract
Systems and devices enabling a highly compact design for a fiber-based lasing and/or amplifying system are disclosed. In some instances, a tightly-coiled active optical fiber may be coupled with a seed source and a pump source for optical amplification and other applications. Such systems can be disposed in a small footprint package such as a butterfly package or a high heat load package. In some instances, the tightly-wound active optical fiber may further include a fiber Bragg grating adapted to accommodate bends in the active optical fiber. The active optical fiber may further utilize a cladding shaped to maintain an orientation of the active optical fiber in relation to a bend in the fiber.
