摘要：

We present a compact thulium-doped chirped pulse amplifier producing 241 fs pulses with 1 mu J energy. The system is seeded with the Raman shifted soliton generated by the combination of an erbium-doped femtosecond laser and a nonlinear fiber. The Tm-doped large mode area fiber yields output power of 71 W, corresponding to pulse energy of 2.04 mu J, with a slope efficiency of 52.2%. The amplified pulses have been compressed to a duration time of 241 fs, using a folded Treacy grating setup. The pulse energy is measured to be 1.02 mu J, corresponding to a peak power of similar to 3 MW. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest average power and pulse energy generated from an all-fiber, Raman shifted soliton seeded thulium-doped chirped pulse amplifier system.
