摘要
An all-fiber wavelength-tunable narrow-linewidth polarization-maintaining (PM) Tm-doped fiber master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system is presented. We demonstrate an all-fiber ring cavity Tm-doped fiber master-oscillator (MO) with a tuning range of 110 nm (from 1925 to 2034 nm). The maximum output power of 459 mW is obtained at 1992.9 nm for 16 W of launched pump power at 793 nm, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 5.6% concerning launched pump power. By using a one-stage Tm-doped fiber amplifier combined with a high gain of >10 dB, the maximum slope efficiency is 12.6% and the output power is 5.65 W at 1993 nm. The 3 dB linewidth is less than 0.5 nm, M-2 approximate to 1.25, and the polarization extinction ratio (PER) reaches 21.4 dB. The influence of different active fiber lengths on laser amplification is also studied.
