The Dynamics of Multi-Peak Pulsed Generation in a Q-Switched Thulium-Doped Fiber Laser

Abstract: We demonstrate a detailed theoretical and experimental study of a thulium-doped fiber laser being Q-switched by means of an acousto-optic modulator. The processes leading to the generation of discontinuous multi-peak pulses with an energy of up to 5 μJ and a nanosecond structure are described. The dynamics of the multi-peak structure’s evolution is demonstrated and a method of switching to a single-pulse mode is proposed.

“…The existence of a wide application range has led to a variety of laser system configurations. They are mostly based on the principle of a master oscillator and amplifier system, where the pulses are shaped by active modulation [13][14][15]. This, on the one hand, allows flexible control of the output radiation characteristics (duration, peak power, and energy), but on the other hand, increases the complexity of the setup and introduces restrictions on the minimum pulse duration value.…”
