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. --

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.
I am thinking of changing the second sentence which isn't strictly true. It currently reads: "They are related to doped fiber amplifiers, which provide light amplification without lasing." Fibre amlifiers do work by a lasing process. Ie. they literally work by Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Vectis Kitsune ( talk) 10:27, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
"A fiber laser or fibre laser is a laser such that the manufacturer implants rare-earth elements such as erbium, ytterbium, neodymium, dysprosium, praseodymium and thulium as an alien mass through the active gain medium - a mechanically stretched fiber - so that the pump or pumps can force the ions to undergo population inversion and unleash the laser's power. Fiber lasers are devices with superior heat dissipation, which from a certain point of view makes them among the cool devices. They are related to doped fiber amplifiers, which provide light amplification without lasing. Fiber nonlinearities, such as stimulated Raman scattering or four-wave mixing can also provide gain and thus serve as gain media for a fiber laser." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.14.61.146 ( talk) 07:58, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

This article is garbage. It's all buzzwords and inaccuracies and terrible English; to put it bluntly, b.s. Best solution for this article would be a long walk off a short pier. 116.231.78.79 ( talk) 08:32, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
I second this sentiment - truly pathetic. This article reads like somebody is simply promoting their own work, while there is nothing of the actual history of this field. Wikibearwithme ( talk) 22:37, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
So I ran the old version of the advantages section through a Markov Chain generator (I mainly trimmed it, so the longer version was better) and realized that the markov chain version really could be dumped directly in without changing the writing quality significantly in this case.

I changed the article because the spelling fibre is the official spelling in all English speaking countries except USA. Commonwealth English as indicated on the optical fibre Wiki article, is generally used in Wiki articles in such cases, although the nomenclature is contentious as countries such as Ireland are not in the Commonwealth but also follow the same spelling.
This is not the talk article to fight the battle of exact geographical areas of use of different spellings and the use of the word Commonwealth, with respect to the name of the geographical area where the spelling is spelling fibre or fiber, but it should follow other Wiki pages where fibre/fiber spelling is shown.
