  • An eye-safe, all fiber, single mode, fiber laser based on master oscillator power amplifier configuration was presented. The advantages and disadvantages were compared between using a directly modulated diode laser and an electro-optical modulated continuous-wave diode as seed laser in sub-Mega Hertz, nanosecond fiber amplifier. The main restriction of power scaling in nanosecond fiber laser was pulse split. 10 m core double cladding erbium ytterbium co-doped fiber was employed as gain fiber of power amplifier. The directly modulated seed laser was then amplified by only two stage amplifiers. Finally, a peak power of 1.02 kW with 4.07 ns pulse duration at 200 kHz pulse repetition frequency with single-mode output was obtained and it is applicable in three dimensional video imaging lidar system.

Abstract: An eye-safe, all fiber, single mode, fiber laser based on master oscillator power amplifier configuration was presented. The advantages and disadvantages were compared between using a directly modulated diode laser and an electro-optical modulated continuous-wave diode as seed laser in sub-Mega Hertz, nanosecond fiber amplifier. The main restriction of power scaling in nanosecond fiber laser was pulse split. 10 m core double cladding erbium ytterbium co-doped fiber was employed as gain fiber of power amplifier. The directly modulated seed laser was then amplified by only two stage amplifiers. Finally, a peak power of 1.02 kW with 4.07 ns pulse duration at 200 kHz pulse repetition frequency with single-mode output was obtained and it is applicable in three dimensional video imaging lidar system.
