Abstract-We review recent advances in the development of high power short-and ultrashort pulsed Thulium-doped fiber amplifier (TDFA) systems seeded by semiconductor laser diodes at wavelengths around 2 µm. The diode-seeding and the master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) design allow for the construction of extremely versatile laser systems that can operate over wide ranges of peak power, pulse energy and repetition rate in the ultrashort picosecond to the long nanosecond pulsed regimes. We present a record peak power of 130 kW and pulse energy of 5 µJ in picosecond mode, while demonstrating user-defined pulse-shaping capabilities at millijoule pulse energy levels in the nanosecond regime from essentially the same amplifier system. The system architecture as well as important design and power scaling considerations are discussed in detail. Additionally, we highlight recent results in the application of these MOPA systems and their high performance TDFA stages in such diverse application areas as next generation telecommunication networks, mid-infrared supercontinuum generation and mid-infrared gas detection in hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers.

“…The research on mid-infrared (mid-IR) supercontinuum (SC) sources has drawn worldwide attention because of their great application potential in many areas such as spectroscopy [1], frequency metrology [2], remote sensing [3], and atom physics [4]. In the past decades, SC generation in silica glass fibers [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], especially in silica photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) [9][10][11][12][13], has been extensively studied due to the controllable dispersion property and low propagation loss in visible and near-IR regions. Soft glass optical fibers with high nonlinearity and low propagation loss in the mid-IR region, such as chalcogenide [14][15][16][17], tellurite [18][19][20], and fluoride [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] glasses, are needed for generating mid-IR SC.…”

We demonstrate an integrated all-fiber mid-infrared (mid-IR) supercontinuum (SC) source generated by a 1.95 μm master oscillator power amplifier system and a single-mode ZBLAN (ZrF 4 -BaF 2 -LaF 3 -AlF 3 -NaF) fiber. The maximum average output power is 10.67 W with spectral bandwidth covering from ∼1.9 to 4.1 μm. The single-mode ZBLAN fiber and silica fiber are thermal-spliced to enhance the robustness and practicability of the system. It is, to the best of our knowledge, the first high-power integrated compacted all-fiber mid-IR SC source based on thermal-spliced silica fiber and ZBLAN fiber. ©
