Abstract
We build a Tm-doped fiber amplifier based on a gain-switched seed laser. At Er-doped fiber-laser pumping, the maximum peak power of the gain-switched seed pulse is 227.7 W with a pulse duration of 48.3 ns. In the amplifier, peak power of the amplified pulse reaches 1.1 kW with a 3 dB linewidth of 0.06 nm. Supercontinuum generation is observed when this amplified pulsed laser source is injected into a section of 7 m long Tm-doped double-clad fiber.
