Abstract
We demonstrate a high-power 2.0-μm fiber laser system delivering femtosecond pulses with a fundamental repetition rate of >10 GHz, the highest value so far, to the best of our knowledge. The seed is a self-started fundamentally mode-locked Tm-doped fiber laser that has excellent power and spectral stabilities. The laser system can provide an average power of >600 mW, and the use of soliton-effect-based pulse compression allows the achievement of a pulse duration of 163 fs, leading to a compression factor of ∼ 13. It is anticipated that this new high-power femtosecond fiber laser with a 10-GHz-level fundamental repetition rate can serve as a promising light source for various applications, including laser surgery, micromachining, frequency comb spectroscopy, and nonlinear frequency conversion.
