High-power, widely wavelength-tunable, single-frequency pulsed fiber master oscillator power amplifier at 2.8 μm

We present a high-power mid-infrared single-frequency pulsed fiber laser (SFPFL) with a tunable wavelength range from 2712.3 to 2793.2 nm. The single-frequency operation is achieved through a compound cavity design that incorporates a germanium etalon and a diffraction grating, resulting in an excep...

description We present a high-power mid-infrared single-frequency pulsed fiber laser (SFPFL) with a tunable wavelength range from 2712.3 to 2793.2 nm. The single-frequency operation is achieved through a compound cavity design that incorporates a germanium etalon and a diffraction grating, resulting in an exceptionally narrow seed linewidth of approximately 780 kHz. Employing a master oscillator power amplifier configuration, we attain a maximum average output power of 2.6 W at 2789.4 nm, with a pulse repetition rate of 173 kHz, a pulse energy of 15 μJ and a narrow linewidth of approximately 850 kHz. This achievement underscores the potential of the mid-infrared SFPFL system for applications requiring high coherence and high power, such as high-resolution molecular spectroscopy, precision chemical identification and nonlinear frequency conversion.
