Abstract
We present here the first watt-level single-frequency thulium-doped ZBLAN fiber amplifier system operating at a wavelength of 2.3 µm. Continuous-wave output of up to 1.41 W was generated from a two-stage Tm: ZBLAN fiber amplifier with direct ground-state pumping at 793 nm. Seeded by a single-frequency distributed feedback diode laser at 2332 nm, the thulium-doped ZBLAN fiber amplifier emitted a laser with linewidth no more than 10 MHz at maximal output power. This study examines the impact of a 2.3-µm seed on the competitive laser transition of 2 µm. The findings indicate that direct pumping of a Tm fiber amplifier holds the potential for achieving higher power output within the 2.3-µm band.
