Article Abstract
Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG)-based optical fiber is one of the research hotspots in the field of fiber lasers due to its combined advantages of a wide doping range of rare earth ions and the high mechanical strength of YAG material, as well as the flexibility and small size of the fiber structure. YAG-based optical fibers and related laser devices can be used in communication, sensing, medicine, etc. A comprehensive review of YAG-based optical fibers is provided in this paper. Firstly, the fabrication processes of YAG-based optical fibers are summarized and the structure and properties of fibers are classified and compared. Secondly, according to the optical wavelength regions, rare earth-doped YAG-based optical fibers for the applications of single-frequency and mode-locked fiber lasers are summarized. Lastly, the development challenges in both the fabrication and applications of YAG-based optical fibers are discussed.

Transparent crystalline yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG; YAlO) is a dominant host material used in phosphors, scintillators, and solid state lasers. However, YAG single crystals and transparent ceramics face several technological limitations including complex, time-consuming, and costly synthetic approaches. Here we report facile elaboration of transparent YAG-based ceramics by pressureless nano-crystallization of YO-AlO bulk glasses.

Solid-state laser systems, such as traditional Nd:YAG-based lasers, are commonly used for noninvasive biomedical photoacoustics with nanosecond pulse duration and millijoule pulse energy. However, such lasers are both bulky and expensive for use as a handy tool for clinical applications. As an alternative, a semiconductor light source has the advantages of being compact, inexpensive, and robust.
