We report on a monolithic thulium fiber laser with 567 W output power at 1970 nm which, to the best of our knowledge, is the highest power reported so far directly from a thulium oscillator. This is achieved by optimization of the splice parameters for the active fiber (minimizing signal light in the fiber cladding) and direct water cooling. Dual transverse mode operation is visible from the optical spectrum and can be deduced from the measured beam quality of M=2.6.

We report a single-frequency, linearly polarized gain-switched, distributed feedback (DFB), 2-µm thulium doped silica fiber laser (TDFL), with an effective cavity length of 2.5 mm. The cavity is based on a heavily thulium doped non-polarization-maintaining silica fiber and composed of a π-phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with a total FBG length of 35 mm.

The master oscillator is a Tm fiber ring laser incorporating a tunable bandpass filter to realize narrow linewidth and wavelength tunable operation. The MOPA generated 1010 W ∼1039 W of output power over a tuning range of 107 nm from 1943 to 2050nm with slope efficiencies of more than 51% and spectra linewidth of ∼0.

The resonators are fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator platform using a standard foundry process and the gain medium is deposited using a straightforward, low-temperature post-processing step. We show lasing in 40- and 60-µm diameter microdisks with up to 2.

A monolithic fiber laser operating in the short wavelength infrared that is suitable for CO gas sensing applications is proposed and presented. The current study reports a laser design based on the direct inscription of a monolithic Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity in a thulium-doped optical fiber using the femtosecond laser (FsL) plane-by-plane inscription method to produce the cavity mirrors. The FP cavity was inscribed directly into the active fiber using two wavelength-identical fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), one with high and one with low reflectivity.
