Article Abstract
Wavelength-tunable thulium-doped fiber laser is demonstrated employing a digital micromirror device (DMD) in combination with a fixed grating. The diffraction property of four typical models of DMDs and its steering efficiency for the laser system are analyzed based on two-dimensional grating theory. By spatially modulating reflective patterns on a DMD, the stable, fast, and flexible tuning of lasing wavelength from 1930 nm to 2000 nm is achieved with wavelength tuning accuracy of 0.1 nm. The side-mode suppression ratio is larger than 50 dB around the 2 μm band with 3 dB linewidth less than 0.05 nm. The wavelength drift and power fluctuation are lower than 0.05 nm and 0.1 dB within 1 h at the room temperature, respectively.

In this work, we introduced a fully fiber-integrated 2 µm thulium-doped laser system and conducted parametric analysis and mechanism studies on myocardial tissue ablation using this laser. Fresh porcine myocardial tissue served as the model, allowing precise adjustment of laser power (1.0-3.

Phase-mask-assisted 800-nm femtosecond laser exposure method was used to fabricate the monolithic laser cavity on ∼10-cm long straightened silica Tm-doped fiber (TDF) after single-shot spatial alignment.

The laser has a figure-of-eight cavity with a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror (NALM) as a saturable absorber. A bridge-fiber splicing method is applied to incorporate a commercial PM dispersion compensating fiber for cavity dispersion management.

The whole cavity consists of a highly-Tm-doped fiber in tandem with a passive fiber, both with polarization-maintenance, with a dichroic mirror on one end and a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror on the other.

The fiber is characterized by a large normal dispersion, slowly growing from -87 ps/nm/km at 1200 nm to -42 ps/nm/km at 2000nm, and high phase birefringence exceeding 1.9 × 10 in this spectral range which ensures a polarization extinction ratio as high as 28 dB for a 1 m long fiber section.
