Guided mode resonance filters as stable line-narrowing feedback elements for Tm fiber lasers

Guided mode resonance filters produced a stable spectrally narrow Thulium fiber laser, at ~1985 nm. Laser spectral linewidths of 10-30 pm with a slope efficiency of ~35% were demonstrated. Spectral reflectivity was explored and showed 0.4-1.0 nm FWHM.
