Abstract: Near-infrared continuous-wave fiber lasers with wavelengths of 0.9~1.0 μm have important application prospects in the fields of high-power blue and ultraviolet laser generation, high-power single-mode pump sources, biomedicine and lidars. They have thus become a heavily researched topic in recent years. At present, their gain mechanisms mainly include a rare earth ion gain or a nonlinear effect gain. In this paper, the research progress of 0.9~1.0 μm fiber lasers based on these two kinds of gain mechanisms are reviewed in detail, and the technical bottlenecks and solutions of these lasers are analyzed. Furthermore, the potential directions for the future of their research are proposed. -
