Optical pumping of Raman fiber lasers and amplifiers with semiconductor disk lasers represents novel advantageous approach as compared with conventional pumping techniques based on diode lasers and/or fiber converters. Short pulse generation and low-noise amplification are experimentally demonstrated using this pumping concept. High-power, low-noise, and diffraction-limited beam quality, naturally attributed to disk laser geometry, promises significant and positive impact on the optical amplifier technology.
