A single frequency fiber laser at 1.97 μm is amplified by a cascaded master oscillator power amplifier(MOPA) system with all-fiber configuration. The optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of the main fiber amplifier is 45%.

文摘We demonstrate a monolithic single frequency Tm-doped fiber amplifier with output power of 51.5 W. A single frequency fiber laser at 1.97 μm is amplified by a cascaded master oscillator power amplifier(MOPA) system with all-fiber configuration. The optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of the main fiber amplifier is 45%. No amplified spontaneous emission(ASE) or stimulated Brillouin scattering(SBS) effect is observed in the fiber amplifier. The output power could be further scaled by launching more pump power.
