Abstract
We reported a hybrid pumped gain-switched thulium-doped fiber laser (HP-GS-TDFL) at 2042nm in an all-fiber structure. The resonator consists of 0.7m 10/130 single-mode (SM) TDF with a pair of fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) at 2042nm, pumped by a 1550nm nanosecond fiber laser and a 793nm continuous wave (CW) laser diode (LD). Under 1550nm pulse single pump configurations, the GS-TDFL does not reach the lasing threshold at 50kHz and produces <1 μJ energy at 25kHz. Under hybrid pump configurations, the GS-TDFL produces 26μJ energy with 161ns pulse durations at 50kHz and 38μJ energy with 103ns pulse durations at 25kHz. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the output spectrum at 50kHz is 47dB. The experiment results show that pulses with higher peak power and shorter durations can be obtained by applying the hybrid pump scheme.
