Random distributed feedback fiber laser at 2.1 μm - Optica
We demonstrate a random distributed feedback fiber laser at 2.1 μm. A high-power pulsed Tm-doped fiber laser operating at 1.94 μm with a temporal duty ratio of 30% was employed as a pump laser to increase the equivalent incident pump power. A piece of 150 m highly GeO2-doped silica fiber that provides a strong Raman gain and random distributed feedbacks was used to act as the gain medium ...
