Theoretical Study of Pumping Method of High Power Tm3+-doped Fiber Amplifier for Thermal Effect Management
)doped fiber laser(TDFL) based on the structure of master oscillator power-amplifier is the main type of 2 μm band high-power fiber lasers. Study on thermal effect management of the thulium doped fiber amplifier(TDFA) stage means a lot to the continuously power-scaling of the TDFL. This paper mainly focuses on the theoretical research on the optimization of the pumping method of TDFA for thermal effect management. We use the Runge-Kutta method and Newton iteration method to solve the steady-state rate equation of TDFA under different pumping methods. And
on the basis of the heat conduction equation
the temperature distributions of Tm

the segmentally pumping method is studied. Through optimizing of the relative parameters
using a 2 020 nm input signal light with a power of 5 W
a total 793 nm laser pump power of 1 000 W and a TDF with an absorption coefficient of 3.1 dB/m and a total length of 11 m which is divided into 5 segments(2.4

we obtained an amplified signal laser with an output power of 284.5 W and a slope efficiency of 28.45%
and the maximum temperature at the outer cladding boundary of the TDF is only 86.28 ℃ with a uniform temperature distribution along the whole fiber. Compared with a TDFA using traditional forward pumping or dual-end pumping mode
the thermal effect has been significantly improved.
