We report on a high pulse energy and high average power Q-switched Tm-doped fiber oscillator. The oscillator produces 2.4 mJ pulses with 33 W average power (at a repetition rate of 13.9 kHz) and nearly diffraction-limited beam quality. This record performance is enabled by a Tm-doped large-pitch fiber, which allows for large core diameters in combination with effective single-mode operation.

We demonstrate a high peak power, all-fiber passively Q-switched Tm-doped laser operating at 1940 nm for applications in soft tissue ablation. High peak power and passive Q-switching were achieved via a clad pumped gain fiber and a smaller core Tm-doped fiber saturable absorber respectively. Clad pumping was achieved via two 30 W diodes operating at 793 nm.

The amplifier is pumped with Raman-shifted fiber lasers centered at 1692 nm. This in-band pump scheme for Tm-doped fiber lasers can significantly mitigate their quantum defect-related heat load limitations.

Heavily self-doped semiconductors can be designed to be used in advanced photonics due to both fabrication and functional advantages. Ultrafast response, strong optical nonlinearity, broadband wavelength range, and accessibility of integration are major challenges for ultrafast all-optical photonics to operate in the infrared wavelength range. Here, solution-processed CuSe semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) demonstrate an ultrafast response (about 360-520 fs), strong optical nonlinearity (as large as -1.

Owing to the use of a Tm-doped rod-type fully aperiodic large pitch fiber, together with an acousto-optic modulator and two volume Bragg gratings (VBGs), the wavelength separation was shown to be continuously tunable from 1 to 120 nm (∼0.1-10  THz).
