We have proposed compact thulium-doped fiber laser at 810 nm and we investigated its performance for three different hosts: ZBLAN, standard silica and silica modified by high alumina codoping.We found that efficient lasing at 810 nm in silica should be possible for short ranges of fiber parameters,especially when 3H4 lifetime is enhanced.
