Photonic crystal fiber pump combiner for high-peak power all-fiber thulium lasers
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a pump combiner for use with thulium-doped photonic crystal fiber (PCF) was evaluated for ultrashort chirped pulse amp lification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid thermo-optical quality assessment of laser gain media
Christina C. C. Willis,Joshua Bradford,John Haussermann,Erik McKee,Emily Maddox,Lawrence Shah,Romain Gaume,Martin Richardson +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a technique for the quick and simple assessment of doped optical materials for use as laser gain media, referred to as Rapid Thermo-Optical Assessment (RTOA), which is based on Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensing and thermal lensing.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Fiber Amplification of 2 µm picoseconds pulses
R. Andrew Sims,Pankaj Kadwani,Timothy S. McComb,Christina C. C. Willis,Lawrence Shah,Martin Richardson +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a carbon nanotube mode-locked Tm fiber laser was used to generate tracer pulses with an average power of 0.6 W, 2.6 kW peak power, and 13 nJ of energy.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
High Power 2053 nm Transmission through Single-mode Chalcogenide Fiber
Alex Sincore,Justin Cook,Felix Tan,Ahmed El Halawany,Anthony Riggins,Lawrence Shah,Ayman F. Abouraddy,Martin Richardson,Kenneth L. Schepler +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an in-house drawn chalcogenide fiber sustained 12.2 MW/cm2 CW irradiation on the facet without damage, limited by available laser power.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Spectral Beam Combining of 2 μm Tm Fiber Laser Systems
R. Andrew Sims,Christina C. C. Willis,Pankaj Kadwani,Timothy S. McComb,Lawrence Shah,Vikas Sudesh,Zachary A. Roth,Menelaos K. Poutous,Eric G. Johnson,Martin Richardson +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report spectral beam combining of three 2-m Tm fiber lasers, each locked to slightly different wavelengths, using a new spectral-limiting device, providing a path forward to beamcombining at the multi-kW level.
