Article Description

A maximum output power of 20.6W at 2.825 μm from an erbium-doped all-fiber laser is reported, which we believe is the highest output power for this laser transition in single-mode operation. The slope efficiency of the passively cooled laser was up to 35.4% with respect to the absorbed pump power. Accounting for an estimated round-trip intracavity loss of 1.3 dB, we calculated a theoretical conversion efficiency of 39.5%, which is 15% higher than the Stokes efficiency of 34.3%. We believe this is the first experimental confirmation of the redicted pump energy recycling for this fiber laser. The narrow laser linewidth varied from 0.09 to 0.16nm from low to maximum output power. © 2011 Optical Society of America.
