The all-fiber cladding-pumped Yb-doped gain-switched laser.
Gain-switching is an alternative pulsing technique of fiber lasers, which is power scalable and has a low complexity. From a linear stability analysis of rate equations the relaxation oscillation period is derived and from it, the pulse duration is defined. Good agreement between the measured pulse duration and the theoretical prediction is found over a wide range of parameters. In particular w...
متن کاملNeodymium-Doped Cladding-Pumped Aluminosilicate Fiber Laser Tunable in the 0.9- m Wavelength Range
A tunable high-power cladding-pumped neodymiumdoped aluminosilicate fiber laser is demonstrated. The maximum power reached was 2.4 W with a slope efficiency of 41% and a threshold pump power of 1.68 W, both with respect to launched pump power, when cladding pumped by two 808-nm diode pump sources at both fiber ends. The dependence of the tuning range on the fiber length is investigated. The tun...
متن کاملDevelopment of resonantly cladding-pumped holmium-doped fibre lasers
The resonant pumping of holmium fibre lasers provides a fibre laser platform capable of addressing a wide range of applications that benefit from operation at wavelengths beyond 2.1 μm. This architecture can provide laser devices that promise high efficiency sources in the 2.1 μm spectral region with excellent beam quality and power scalability. This paper presents our recent results of resonan...
متن کاملCladding pumped Ytterbium-doped fiber laser with holey inner and outer cladding.
We have fabricated an ytterbium doped all-glass double-clad large mode area holey fiber. A highly efficient cladding pumped single transverse mode holey fiber laser has been demonstrated, allowing continuous-wave output powers in excess of 1W with efficiencies of more than 80%. Furthermore both Q-switched and mode-locked operation of the laser have been demonstrated.
متن کاملHigh-Power and Tunable Operation of Erbium-Ytterbium Co-Doped Cladding-Pumped Fiber Lasers
We describe erbium-ytterbium co-doped fiber lasers in different free-running and tunable configurations. The lasers were cladding-pumped by high-power multimode diode sources. We compare pumping at 915 and 980 nm. With a free-running laser, we obtained slope efficiencies of up to 50% with 915-nm pumping and 38% with 980-nm pumping, with respect to absorbed pump power. We reached a double-ended ...
