230 W average-power all-fiber-based actively Q-switched fiber master oscillator–power amplifier

Abstract: We report a high-power all-fiber format pulsed laser source at ~1064 nm in a master oscillator-power amplifier configuration. The seed source is an acousto-optic Q-switched fiber laser with a varied pulse duration and repetition rate. The output power of the oscillator is ~1 W, and two double-cladding Yb-doped fiber amplifiers were used to boost the average power of the seed. >230 W average power was achieved for ~1.4 μs pulses at 100 kHz repetition rate. The optical-to-optical efficiency of the main amplifier… Show more

“…In recent years, the pursuit of laser systems combining high-average power and pulse energy has led to studies involving larger core diameter fibers in the main amplifier stage. However, nonlinear effects, particularly Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS), continue to impact fiber laser output, especially in industrial high-pulsed lasers [2,5,6]. The SRS effect causes nonlinear wavelength shifting when signal power exceeds the SRS threshold [7][8][9].…”

“…However, one of the primary concerns for WPC, which limits its wider application, is its low fire resistance because plastics and wood as organic materials are sensitive to flame. Thus, it is crucial to enhance the fire performance of WPC to accommodate the fire requirements and regulations so as to expand the potential industrial application of WPC [3].…”

“…Zinc borate, as a potential filler, has been used to retard the thermal degradation of WPC because of its high thermal stability. Zinc borate helps form a glassy protection layer as a barrier to reduce the heat release rate (HRR) and thus slow the combustion of composites [3,14]. In addition, the combination of boron compounds and APP shows synergistic effects for WPC in flame retardancy [15].…”

“…However, this laser has relatively poor beam quality due to the fact that a multimode active fiber with ~ 50 μm core was utilized in the final fiber amplifier. We reported a monolithic pulsed fiber laser system with 230 W average power [11]. The Raman scattering appeared due to the very long active fiber, utilized in the final amplifier.…”
