Multicolor diode-pumped upconversion fiber laser.
We present a new method to control the power of individual spectral components of a multicolor laser by mirrors with variable air gaps and by a composite resonator configuration. We demonstrate a Pr/Yb-ZBLAN fiber laser with arbitrary spectral composition of three simultaneously emitted components at 492 nm, 520 nm, and 635 nm. With 100 mW pump power at 850 nm launched into the fiber, the total laser output exceeds 10 mW.
