Spectral shaping of a 10 W diode laser-Yb-fiber amplifier system

چکیده
We describe a continuous-wave master-oscillator power-amplifier system based on a distributed Bragg reflection diode laser and an Yb doped fiber amplifier. The observed optical spectrum of the amplified seed source can be tailored to arbitrary shapes and widths between 30 MHz and greater than 1 GHz by controlling the radio frequency modulation wave form of the injection current. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.

Compact Tunable 10 W picosecond Sourcebased on Yb-doped Fiber Amplification of Gain Switch Laser Diode
A compact tunable 10 W picosecond source based on Yb-doped fiber amplification of gain switch laser diode has been demonstrated. A gain switch semiconductor laser diode was used as the seed source, and a multi-stage single mode Yb-doped fiber preamplifier was combined with two large mode area double-clad Yb-doped fiber main amplifiers to construct the amplification system. The tunable pulses wi...
متن کاملFemtosecond Chirped Pulse Amplification in Cryogenically Cooled Yb,Na:CaF2
By seeding stretched pulses from a femtosecond Yb fiber oscillator into a cryogenically cooled DPSS regenerative amplifier based on a novel Na-co-doped Yb:CaF2 laser crystal, we obtain >3-mJ pulses at a 1-kHz repetition rate with a spectral bandwidth exceeding 12 nm. The pulses are compressed with a single grating compressor to 173 fs as verified by SHG FROG. Shaping of the spectral amplitude o...
متن کاملUsing of Broadened Asymmetric Waveguide Structure for 980nm Diode Laser
Laser diode beam divergence is the main parameter for beam shaping and fiber optic coupling. Increasing the waveguide layer thickness is the conventional method to decrease the beam divergence. In this paper, the broadened asymmetric waveguide is introduced to decrease the divergence without increasing the optical power. The asymmetric waveguide was used to shift the vertical optical field to n...

Various scientific and industrial laser applications profit from the latest progress of directly diode pumped high-power femtosecond oscillators, in particular applications such as laser micromachining, nonlinear spectroscopy, or laser surgery. These oscillators provide pulse energies in the microjoule regime at 100 kHz to megahertz repetition rates, replacing complex and expensive chirpedpulse...
