摘要：

We report on a highly efficient, in-band pumped, Q-switched, Tm-doped, rod-type master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system delivering up to 140 W average output power and 7 mJ pulse energy with a slope efficiency of 77% at 20 kHz repetition rate. The amplifier is pumped with Raman-shifted fiber lasers centered at 1692 nm. This in-band pump scheme for Tm-doped fiber lasers can significantly mitigate their quantum defect-related heat load limitations. At the same time, this pump wavelength yields a similar amount of storable and extractable energy to the state-of-the-art pumping at 793 nm. This approach has allowed for the development of highly efficient Tm-doped fiber laser systems combining a high average power and a high output pulse energy. (c) 2024 Optica Publishing Group.
