Experimental studies on gain and saturation of a Yb-doped double-cladding fiber amplifier accompanied with and interpreted by rigorous numerical simulations are presented. The saturation power, the value, and the spectral asymmetry of the output signal are experimentally characterized in both pulsed...

In this article, a precisely controlled, switchable thulium-doped fiber laser (TDFL) with high optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) is proposed and demonstrated. A home-made multimode fiber Bragg grating (MMFBG) with multireflection peaks was used as an optical filter to select the desired lasing ch...

We demonstrate a 150-mm long cladding light stripper for kW-level operation with high attenuation and low temperature rising. The first 100 mm of the device was designed based on theoretical simulation to achieve uniform extraction of the high-power scattered cladding light and it was constructed by...

Dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS), without moving mirrors, enables fast optical sampling of molecular vibrations and results in high-resolution and high-accuracy Fourier-transform spectra. This motionless technique holds much promise in gas sensing and environmental monitoring. However, in many cases, th...

The effect of tens-of-Watt seed light on the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in a distributed side-pumped Yb-doped fiber amplifier is studied. By using two sorts of seed sources with the power smaller than 70 W, it is observed in experiment that the SRS can be enhanced by lowering the seed power....
