Research abstract
Based on our success in developing the world first commercial high energy and high power femtosecond fiber laser system and our leading technology development in fiber design, PolarOnyx proposes an all fiber based kW 2 micron fiber amplifier to meet with the requirement of the solicitation N201-044. Issues of thermal management, efficiency and power extraction have been identified and solutions are proposed. A tabletop experiment of 100’s W amplifier will be demonstrated in Phase I time frame for proof of the concept. A prototype of kW amplifier will be delivered in Phase II.
