Narrow-Linewidth Diffraction-Limited Tapered Er-Doped Fiber Amplifier with 2 mJ Pulse Energy

The possibility to scale-up output pulse energy in diffraction-limited Er-doped fiber amplifier has been studied. It is shown that the utilization of tapered fiber design allows one to increase the pulse energy up to 2 mJ, while keeping the diffraction-limited beam quality (M<sup>2</sup>...

description The possibility to scale-up output pulse energy in diffraction-limited Er-doped fiber amplifier has been studied. It is shown that the utilization of tapered fiber design allows one to increase the pulse energy up to 2 mJ, while keeping the diffraction-limited beam quality (M<sup>2</sup>~1.4). Factors limiting the further increase in pulse energy are revealed.
