Abstract

The LD-clad-pumped CW and Q-switched pulse Tm³⁺-doped silica fiber amplifiers were general experimental investigations. The CW fiber amplifier provided up to 3W output with the slope efficiency nearly 30%, and the Q-switched pulse fiber amplifier output power was 2W with the slope efficiency 32.6%. The gain fiber was 27.5/400μm D-shaped Tm³⁺-doped silica double-cladding fiber, and the pump sources was a 792nm LD with a 400μm pigtail fiber output. The signal seed sources was a LD-pumped Tm³⁺:YAP lasing at 1.99μm. By the AO Q-switched method, The Tm³⁺:YAP laser had a nearly 120ns pulse duration and 1kHz repeat rates. The measured amplified spectrum only stretched a little relative to the input signal spectrum.
