Abstract

We report a diode-pumped Tm3+-doped double-clad all-fiber laser operating at 1940 nm with a master oscillator power amplifier configuration; 50 W of seed was generated in master oscillator with 144 W pump power, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 40.1 %. With 212 W pump power, the seed was amplified to 140.9 W in power amplifier, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 47.1 %. The peak wavelength was 1939.57 nm with a narrow spectral line-width of 0.09 nm. The beam quality factor of M 2 was 1.29. Neither amplified spontaneous emission nor parasitic lasing was observed during the amplification process. The output power was only limited by the pump power.
