1. A fiber laser, comprising:

  • a laser cavity having a first end and a second end, the laser cavity comprising a first reflector disposed at the first end of the laser cavity, a second reflector disposed at the second end of the laser cavity to create with the first reflector a resonant oscillator within the laser cavity, a gain fiber disposed between the first and second reflectors and configured and arranged to amplify a beam of light, a fiber polarization controller configured and arranged to alter polarization of light in fiber and disposed between the first and second reflectors to modify the polarization of light oscillating within the laser cavity, and an in-fiber polarizer disposed to receive light from the fiber polarization controller and polarize the received light;

    a pump light source to provide a pump beam for the gain fiber; and

    an outlet for removing an output beam from the laser cavity.
