Abstract

We present results on the development of signal sources for the 2000 nm band. The ASE source is presented with a FWHM bandwidth of 70 nm and -20dB bandwidth of 229 nm with an integrated power of 7.5 mW. Narrow band lasers are presented made of a short piece of core-pumped thulium doped fiber and fiber Bragg gratings. High power lasers were constructed of double clad fiber. The low reflective output mirror was formed of the fiber loop. Highly reflective wideband mirror was used in a free running laser while fiber Bragg grating was used in a high-power all-fiber narrowband laser.
