Abstract
In this communication, we report for the first time on a homemade 55 µm core VLMA “Yb-free” Er-doped aluminosilicate double-clad fiber manufactured by the REPUSIL powder sintering technology and its implementation within two different laser configurations emitting around 1560 nm, both pumped at 976 nm. First, a free-running free-space CW oscillator delivers up to 40 W of average power with optical-to-optical efficiency of 30 % and near-diffraction-limited beam, despite the large core size. In a second experiment, the fiber is used as the main amplifier of a MOPA system delivering up to 10 nJ pulses at GHz repetition rate.
