Q-switched neodymium-doped Y3Al5O12-based silica fiber laser.
We present pulsed laser operation in a Nd-doped, Y3Al5O12-based silica fiber. The fiber was fabricated using the rod-in-tube technique with a Nd:YAG crystal rod as the core material and a silica tube for the cladding material. A spectroscopy study revealed that the core region had become amorphous in the process of fiber drawing. Q-switched pulsed laser operation was realized at a wavelength of...
متن کاملThe all-fiber cladding-pumped Yb-doped gain-switched laser.
Gain-switching is an alternative pulsing technique of fiber lasers, which is power scalable and has a low complexity. From a linear stability analysis of rate equations the relaxation oscillation period is derived and from it, the pulse duration is defined. Good agreement between the measured pulse duration and the theoretical prediction is found over a wide range of parameters. In particular w...
متن کاملSingle-frequency gain-switched Ho-doped fiber laser.
We demonstrate a single-frequency gain-switched Ho-doped fiber laser based on heavily doped silicate glass fiber fabricated in-house. A Q-switched Tm-doped fiber laser at 1.95 μm was used to gain-switch the Ho-doped fiber laser via in-band pumping. Output power of the single-frequency gain-switched pulses has been amplified in a cladding-pumped Tm-Ho-codoped fiber amplifier with 1.2 m active fi...
متن کاملEnergy transfer up-conversion in Tm3+-doped silica fiber
A study of the mechanisms responsible for the infra-red to near infra-red up-conversion in thulium doped silica fibres is presented. Up-conversion luminescence was observed from the H4 level of Tm under 1586 nm pumping into the F4 level. The quadratic dependence of the up-conversion luminescence at 800 nm on the 1800 nm luminescence from the F4 level confirms that the H4 level is populated by a...
متن کاملModeling and optimization of Q-switched double-clad fiber lasers.
The numerical modeling of actively Q-switched fiber lasers is systematically presented. On the basis of typical Q-switched ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber lasers under forward and backward pump, the dynamic characteristics of pulse energy, pulse width, population inversion, and stored energy at tens-of-kilohertz repetition rates are studied by using the traveling-wave method. The laser perfor...
