Abstract
A single-frequency pulsed erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser with
master-oscillator power-amplifier configuration at 1 533 nm is developed. A
short-cavity, erbium-doped phosphate glass fiber laser is utilized as a seeder laser
with a linewidth of 5 kHz and power of 40 mW. The seeder laser is modulated to be a
pulse laser with a repetition rate of 10 kHz and pulse duration of 500 ns. The
amplifier consists of two pre-amplifiers and one main amplifier. The detailed
characteristics of the spectrum and linewidth of the amplifiers are presented. A
pulse energy of 116 1J and a linewidth of 1.1 MHz are obtained. This laser can be a
candidate transmitter for an all-fiber Doppler wind lidar in the boundary layer.
