Abstract
We report a watt-level mid-infrared (mid-IR) superfluorescent fiber source from ${{\rm Er}^{3 +}}$-doped ZBLAN fiber near 3 µm spectral range. With the power amplifier configuration, the mid-IR superfluorescent fiber source with power up to 1.85 W has been delivered successfully with slope efficiency about 18.6%. The experimental results may pave an avenue toward a high-power, high-temporal-stability superfluorescent source for versatile mid-IR applications.
