Abstract :
A mode-locked laser/power-amplifier system based on Tm:Ho-doped silica fiber delivering femtosecond soliton pulses tunable from 1.972 mum to 2.15 mum with average output power up to 230 mW is reported. The master soliton oscillator and Raman shifter/amplifier were made of similar Tm/Ho fiber with length of 1.2 m and 4.5 m, respectively.
