Picosecond bismuth-doped fiber MOPFA for frequency conversion

We report the development of a bismuth-doped fiber master oscillator power fiber amplifier system. The system operates at 1177 nm, producing 28 ps pulses at 9.11 MHz repetition rate, with an output power of 150 mW and a peak pulse power of 580 W. We subsequently frequency double the output, resultin...

Description
Summary:We report the development of a bismuth-doped fiber master oscillator power fiber amplifier system. The system operates at 1177 nm, producing 28 ps pulses at 9.11 MHz repetition rate, with an output power of 150 mW and a peak pulse power of 580 W. We subsequently frequency double the output, resulting in a picosecond pulsed visible source operating at 588.5 nm, with a maximum average output power of 13.7 mW.
