Demonstration of fiber lasers producing 7.1 W output in methane-filled hollow-core fiber, suggesting techniques for enhanced performance.
We demonstrate a 1.5 μm methane-filled hollow-core fiber (HCF) amplifier that delivers 7.1 W of narrow-linewidth (<0.1 nm), near-diffraction-limited (M2 < 1.2) pulsed Raman output. The system is pumped by a 1064 nm pulsed fiber laser and amplifies a 1543 nm continuous-wave seed via stimulated Raman scattering in methane. Using a 45-m HCF, we systematically investigated the influence of seed injection on key laser characteristics, covering the spectral profile, power scaling, and beam properties. This work provides an effective strategy for realizing high-performance fiber lasers in the 1.5 μm band.
