[edit] Old comment
What is really needed here is a whole new article. This article says nothing about fiber lasers in general, but rather seems to have been a brief piece about a specific type of fiber laser, which got mangled together with a slightly rewritten version of itself. --Srleffler 04:56, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Section removed from article
I've removed the following from the article, because it's not very well written, and I can't tell what it's talking about. Fiber lasers are typically coiled onto a disk, which is convenient not only to fit them into a smaller package but also aids in cooling and can in some cases improve the transverse mode of the output. None of this is novel as of December 2006. Obviously, the ad was about something more specific, but it's not clear from the paragraph below what that is. --Srleffler 06:08, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
According to an advertisement by Hamamatsu in the December 2006 issue of Scientific American, in order to strengthen the reduced level of output power available from a small optical fiber these lasers are now coiled into a disk. This was possible due to collaboration between Hamamatsu and the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo.
