Thermo-optic and thermal expansion coefficients of RTP and KTP crystals over 300-350 K
Arlee V. Smith, Jesse J. Smith, Binh T. Do
We report new measurements of the thermal expansion and thermo-optic coefficients of RbTiOPO (RTP) and KTiOPO (KTP) crystals over the temperature range 300-350 K. For RTP/K…
Mode instability thresholds for Tm-doped fiber amplifiers pumped at 790 nm
Arlee V. Smith, Jesse J. Smith
We use a detailed numerical model of stimulated thermal Rayleigh scattering to compute mode instability thresholds in Tm-doped fiber amplifiers. The fiber amplifies 2040 nm…
Influence of signal bandwidth on mode instability threshold of fiber amplifiers
Jesse J. Smith, Arlee V. Smith
We show how signal linewidth affects the gain of stimulated thermal Rayleigh scattering (STRS) which is responsible for mode instability in fiber amplifiers. The gain is reduced if…
Spontaneous Rayleigh seeding of stimulated Rayleigh scattering in high power fiber amplifiers
Arlee V. Smith, Jesse J. Smith
We estimate the Stokes wave starting power for stimulated thermal Rayleigh scattering (STRS) produced by thermal fluctuations in the fiber core that transiently alter the refractiv…
Increased mode instability thresholds of fiber amplifiers by gain saturation
Arlee V. Smith, Jesse J. Smith
We show by numerical modeling that saturation of the population inversion reduces the stimulated thermal Rayleigh gain relative to the laser gain in large mode area fiber amplifier…
Steady-periodic method for modeling mode instability in fiber amplifiers
Arlee V. Smith, Jesse J. Smith
We present a detailed description of the methods used in our model of mode instability in high-power, rare earth-doped, large-mode-area fiber amplifiers. Our model assumes steady-p…
