Abstract

Pulsed fiber amplifiers are essential components of high-power pulsed fiber laser systems. To the best of our knowledge, we first propose a type of positive-feedback pulsed fiber amplifier to efficiently amplify weak laser pulses. Positive-feedback mechanism is actively established by the backward time-shifted superposition of seed pulses and feedback pulses. Since the greatly enhanced net input pulses can consume more excited particles to promote excited radiation and suppress spontaneous radiation, our positive-feedback pulsed fiber amplifier achieves a unique near-exponential growth in power curve, higher single-stage gain (17.4 dB, increase of 5.1 dB), and higher pump-to-signal conversion efficiency (19.1 %, increase of 14.6 %) than conventional pulsed fiber amplifiers.
