Improvement of 2-μm Thulium-Doped Fiber Lasers via ASE Suppression Using All-Solid Low-Pass Photonic Bandgap Fibers

All-solid photonic bandgap fibers (PBGFs) were designed and fabricated to work as low-pass filters in 2-μm region. They were used for manipulating thulium doped fiber laser (TDFL) operating in the 2-μm region via amplified spontaneous emission suppression. A sharp lasing peak at 1915 nm was achieved...
