High-power pulsed fiber lasers and their evolution

چکیده
Fujikura has achieved an output power of 30 W from a Q-switched pulsed fiber laser with a pulse width about 100 ns for the first time in the world. Following the achievement, we commercialized a 70 W output pulsed fiber laser . In the article, we describe our activities on high-power pulsed fiber lasers, and introduce our 70 W output products. Fujikura’s advanced and original functions of pulsed fiber lasers for more precise and complicated material processing are also described.

Wavelength tunable synchronous pulse sources are highly desirable for spectroscopy and optical diagnostics. The common method to generate short pulses in the fiber is the use of nonlinear induced spectral broadening which result in soliton shaping in anomalous dispersion regime. However, to generate ultra-short pulses, broadband gain mechanism is also required. In recent years, Raman fiber lase...
