Abstract

We report a high-average-power mid-infrared ultrafast laser system consisting of a fluoride fiber mode-locked oscillator and a nonlinear amplifier. A backward pumping scheme was used in the amplifier to simultaneously realize pulse amplification and self-compression. The input signal polarization was demonstrated to play an important role in the self-compression process. Through the optimization of input polarization, a 4.13 W average-power 59 fs pulse at 2.8 µm was achieved, with an estimated pulse energy of 42.2 nJ and a peak power of 715 kW. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest average-power pulse with sub-100-fs duration generated from a mid-infrared fiber laser system to date.
