摘要：
We demonstrate a chirped-pulse amplifier system operating around 1900nm using thulium-doped ZrF4-BaF2-LaF3-AlF3-NaF (ZBLAN) fibers. The pulses from a thulium-doped ZBLAN fiber laser oscillator are stretched by a passive ZBLAN fiber and subsequently amplified in a double-clad thulium-doped ZBLAN fiber to an average power of 6.9W at a pump power of 17W. We found that ZBLAN fibers require a much lower pump and/or seed power than silica fibers for efficient amplification. The amplified pulses are compressed to a duration of 150 fs with an average power of 3.9W. (C) 2017 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
