  • Title: High peak-power single-frequency pulses using multiple stage, large core phosphate fibers and preshaped pulses.
    Author: Petersen E, Shi W, Chavez-Pirson A, Peyghambarian N.
    Journal: Appl Opt; 2012 Feb 10; 51(5):531-4. PubMed ID: 22330284.
    Abstract:
    We have developed a monolithic high power pulsed fiber laser in a master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) configuration, which is capable of reaching 0.38 mJ pulse energy and 128 kW peak power for 3 ns pulses at ~1550 nm while maintaining transform-limited linewidth. The fiber laser pulse seed was achieved by directly modulating a CW single-frequency fiber laser using an electro-optic modulator. We used an arbitrary waveform generator to preshape the fiber laser pulses before amplification to avoid pulse steepening and dynamic gain saturation. Single-mode, polarization maintaining highly Er/Yb codoped large core phosphate fibers were used in the power amplifier stages to scale the transform-limited fiber laser pulses, avoiding any nonlinearities.
