β¦ Synopsis
The water-jet guided pump (WJGP) is newly proposed to solve the serious thermal effects in high power endpumped fiber lasers. In this pumping scheme, the pumping light is coupled into the water-jet similar to an optical fiber. The light is guided by the jet and pumped into a following fiber. The experiment of WJGP double-clad fiber is carried out and the maximum coupling efficiency is 71.4%.

A Tm:YLF laser pumped by a Raman shifted Er-fiber laser at 1.678 ΞΌm was studied at two Tm 3+ ion concentrations equal to 1.5% and 5%. At output powers up to 460 mW the measured lasing efficiency at a wavelength of ~1.93 ΞΌm was as high as ~50%. The lasing performance was compared with that obtained u
