We have successfully constructed a short cavity CW laser with a length of 40 mm by using Nd3+ heavily doped single-mode silica glass fiber (Nd-SMF). The Nd-SMF core glass was fabricated by the zeolite method, and Nd2O3 density werw reached 1.25 wt.%. The maximum output power of the laser reached 19.7 mW. Its slope efficiency was 14.6% . The shortening of the laser cavity makes it possible to easily achieve a high repetition rate, several GHz or more.
