With the use of a commercial multimode graded-index fiber, the team at BWT was able to reach a record slope efficiency of 80%. This is because the design allows for more efficient use of the pump light, resulting in higher laser output. In fact, the team was able to achieve 20 W of laser output power, another record.
The in-house double-clad fiber was used to improve beam quality to M2 = 1.9. Although this resulted in a drop in output power and slope efficiency, it still represents an important breakthrough in laser technology as it demonstrates the potential for further advancements.
This is the first publication of a fiber Raman laser cladding-pumped directly by diodes, and it represents a significant step forward in the field of laser technology. The development of these lasers has the potential to revolutionize many scientific and industrial applications, including laser cutting, welding, and medical procedures.
