Abstract: Fiber lasers operating at 2 μm band are widely used in some fields such as lidar, biomedical, environmental monitoring, and spectroscopy. Tm3+-doped glass fiber is an important gain medium for 2 μm band fiber lasers. Starting from the luminescence characteristics of Tm3+-doped glasses, the preparation technologies of Tm3+-doped glass fiber were introduced. Then, the research progress of Tm3+-doped fibers was introduced based on different glass matrix materials. Finally, the key issues that need to be solved in the preparation of high-performance Tm3+-doped glass fibers were proposed. The possible solutions and future development trends of Tm3+-doped glass fibers were prospected.

Key words: 2 μm band, Tm3+, gain fiber, fiber laser, laser glass, single frequency laser
