This Letter presents the efficient laser operation of a : crystal in-band pumped at 1610 nm by an Er-Yb-codoped fiber laser system. A laser slope efficiency of 55% (versus incident pump power) was achieved in a continuous-wave regime, with a maximum output power of 1.25 W at ∼1.88µ in a nearly diffraction-limited beam (=1.14). We also demonstrated a continuous tuning range of 180 nm, which extends to short wavelengths down to 1773 nm.

We detail the design and performance of a high efficiency in-band pumped thulium fiber amplifier operating at the 100 W level. Using a novel pumping architecture based on three incoherently combined thulium fiber oscillators at 1904 nm and a seed laser tunable from 1970-1990 nm, efficient amplification is demonstrated in a high dopant concentration 25/65/250 µm thulium fiber. Here we use the 65 µm pedestal surrounding the core as a pump cladding to increase the cladding to core overlap and improve the overall pump absorption.

In-band pumped at 1943nm using a Tm fiber laser beam shaped via a coupling optics comprising a capillary fiber and lens-combination to achieve distributed pump absorption in Ho:YO and hence selective excitation of the target mode, the laser yields 29.

A tuning range of 318 nm, from 1833 to 2151 nm, is obtained in the continuous-wave regime. The SESAM mode-locked laser produces Fourier-transform-limited pulses as short as 75 fs at ∼ 2.
