Abstract
A low-power 'all-in-one' Yb/Raman optical fiber laser system includes a pump input, and a Yb/Raman resonator including a segment of integrated Yb/Raman fiber configured to provide both a ionic gain and Raman gain. A set of input gratings and output gratings define a series of reflector pairs that, together with the integrated Yb/Raman fiber, create a nested series of cavities that provide a stepwise transition from the input wavelength to a selected target output wavelength.
