Abstract
We describe a mopa structured all-fiber 15 μm fiber amplifier cascade. A single-mode diode laser generating 1064 nm wavelength, several nanosecond pulses at 100 Hz repetition was adopted to seed a corepumping amplifier featuring a 6 μm core Yb-doped fiber. Multi-stage pulse-pumping technology was applied to eliminate ASE as much as possible and ease the heat load of the system that leads to the freedom of temperature control of the laser diode. The master oscillator-power amplifier (MOPA) generated 1064 nm, 18 ns pulse-width, 100 Hz repetition of 220 μJ single pulse energy, peak power >12 kW with single transverse output. The pulse energy of 220 μJ is the largest to date in the all-fiber MOPA amplifier with core diameter around 15 μm to our knowledge.
