    Summary

    We developed a new thulium-doped fiber source producing a broad, eye-safe amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) around 1.85 µm. This stable, high-power source offers a wide spectral range for various applications.

    Area of Science:

    • Photonics and Optical Engineering
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Fiber optic technology is crucial for advanced optical systems.
    • Developing broadband light sources in the eye-safe spectral region is important for applications like remote sensing and spectroscopy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a novel flat and broadband thulium-doped amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) fiber source.
    • To characterize its performance, including output power, spectral width, and efficiency.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of thulium-doped fibers using the modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) method.
    • Characterization of the ASE source in a backward-pumped, single-ended configuration.
    • Measurement of output power, spectral characteristics (FWHM), and slope efficiency.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a stable, non-polarized ASE output around 1.85 µm.
    • Maximum output power reached 280 mW with a slope efficiency of approximately 36%.
    • The source demonstrated a spectral bandwidth (FWHM) exceeding 155 nm, representing the broadest ASE from Tm-doped fiber without spectral filtering.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed thulium-doped fiber ASE source is a high-performance, broadband emitter in the eye-safe region.
    • Its characteristics make it suitable for applications requiring stable, wide-spectrum radiation.
    • This work advances the development of fiber-based light sources for specialized optical applications.
