摘要：
A mode-locked Tm3+-doped fibre laser and amplifier operating at a central wavelength of 1994.3 nm is demonstrated. A thulium oscillator is passively mode-locked by a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror to generate an average power of 17 mW at a fundamental repetition rate of 81 MHz in a short linear cavity. This 2-mu m laser train is amplified to an average power to 20.26 W by two double-clad thulium-doped all-fibre amplifiers. The pulse energy, duration and peak power is 250 nJ, 23 ps and 9.57 kW. respectively. This represents one of the highest values of average power at similar to 2-mu m-wavelength for picosecond thulium-doped fibre lasers and amplifiers. The performance of the laser system is described in details.
