摘要
A watt-level 100 nm tunable 2.8 mm-band mid-infrared fiber laser is demonstrated. By employing a blazing grating as the feedback, output power exceeding 1 W, tuning range of higher than 100 nm from heavily Er3+-doped ZBLAN double-clad fiber pumped by a laser-diode centered at 975 nm is obtained in continuous wave regime. Output power at 2.831 mm of the fiber laser is 1.02 W corresponding to the slope efficiency ashigh as 21.6%. © 2015, Science Press. All right reserved.
