Abstract:We report a tunable all-fiber laser emitting a maximum output power of 2.55 W around 3240 nm. The fiber laser cavity based on a fluoride fiber doped with dysprosium ions yields an efficiency of 42% according to the in-band launched pump power at 2825 nm. Due to a custom piezoelectric fiber Bragg grating (FBG) package, mechanical strains applied to the narrowband FBG used as the input cavity coupler allowed for fast tuning of the emission wavelength over a spectral range of 1.5 nm. This laser was deployed in th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
