Abstract

A clad-pumped short pulse Er3+/Yb3+-codoped fiber laser based on master oscillator and power amplifier (MOPA) structure, integrating the performances of broad-band tunable wavelength, uniform output power spectrum, high repetition rate and high average power to together, is proposed and demonstrated. Combining the cavity parameter optimization of the fiber master oscillator and power fiber amplifier with gain saturation characteristic of erbium-doped fiber, we achieved a lasing output with uniform output power and continuously tunable wavelength in the range from 1535 to 1530nm (i.e. 35nm band width). The maximum output power fluctuation is no more than 0.5 dBm, the average power is about 2 W, pulse repetition rate is greater than 10 GHz and pulse width is less than 30 ps in the whole tunable wavelength band width. Furthermore, the laser has advantages of good performance, simple all-fiber structure and convenient operation.
