ULTRA-HIGH POWER SINGLE MODE GREEN FIBER LASER OPERATING IN CONTINUOUS WAVE AND QUASI-CONTINUOUS WAVE REGIMES

A single-mode (SM) Green fiber laser is configured to operate in a Green spectral range in a continuous-wave (CW) or quasi-continuous-wave (QCW) mode. The Green laser is configured with a pump source, outputting narrow-linewidth pump light at a fundamental wavelength in one (1) micrometer spectral r...

Zusammenfassung:A single-mode (SM) Green fiber laser is configured to operate in a Green spectral range in a continuous-wave (CW) or quasi-continuous-wave (QCW) mode. The Green laser is configured with a pump source, outputting narrow-linewidth pump light at a fundamental wavelength in one (1) micrometer spectral range, and a single-pass second harmonic generator (SHG), such as a nonlinear LBO crystal, frequency doubling the pump light to output Green light at a signal wavelength. The pump light source is configured to have a MOPFA configuration with a SM seed which emits the SM pump light with a linewidth narrower than 0.2 nm, and at least one ytterbium ("Yb") fiber amplifier receiving and amplifying the SM pump light at the fundamental wavelength while maintaining the linewidth narrower than 0.2 nm. The SM Green fiber laser operates with a wall plug efficiency between 15 % and 30% in a 510 - 540 nm signal wavelength range and a power range between about 50 W and kW-levels.
