Spectral beam combining technology based on diffraction grating is an effective method to obtain tens of thousands of watts or even hundreds of thousands of watts of high-power and high beam quality laser. The high power linearly polarized narrow linewidth fiber laser is an ideal sub-beam source in spectral beam combining systems. Limited by stimulated brillouin scattering and mode instability, the power increase of narrow linewidth lasers has been limited, especially in linear polarization systems. In this paper, we report a high-power line polarized narrow line width fiber laser. The white noise signal (WNS) phase modulation and the pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) phase modulation were combined to widen the single-frequency laser line width, and then the three-stages fiber amplifier was used to amplify the narrow-line width laser for power. A high power line polarized narrow line width laser with a center wavelength of 1064nm, a power of 2070W and a 3dB line width of 23GHz was finally obtained. The laser polarization extinction ratio is greater than 14dB.
We reported a mid-infrared intra-cavity ZnGeP2 optical parametric oscillator (ZGP OPO) pumped by an acousto-optic (AO) Q-switched Ho:YAG oscillator. The 1908nm laser with an output power of 20W was used as the pump source of the Ho:YAG AO Q-switched oscillator. ZGP OPO was placed inside the Ho:YAG oscillator. Under the Q-switched repetition frequency of 5kHz, the maximum output power of the mid-infrared laser was 1.5W. The optical-optical conversion efficiency of the 1908nm laser to the mid-infrared laser was 7.5%, and the slope efficiency was 15%. The two central wavelengths of mid-infrared laser were located at 3.9~4.05μm and 4.35~4.5μm respectively. The pulse width was 29.9ns and the single-pulse energy was 0.3mJ.
