Abstract

The stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) process in gas-filled hollow-core fiber is mostly used to realize the wavelength conversion, which has the potential to produce narrow-linewidth and high-power fiber laser output. However, limited by the coupling technology, the current research is still at a few watts power level. Here, through the fusion splicing between the end-cap and the hollow-core photonics crystal fiber, several hundred watts pump power can be coupled into the hollow core. Homemade narrow-linewidth continuous wave (CW) fiber oscillators with different 3 dB linewidths are used as the pump sources, then the influences of the pump linewidth and the hollow-core fiber length are studied experimentally and theoretically. As the hollow-core fiber length is 5 m the H2 pressure is 30 bar, 109 W 1st Raman power is obtained with a Raman conversion efficiency 48.5%. This study is significant for the development of high-power gas SRS in hollow-core fibers.
