Abstract :
We demonstrate a high power mode-locked all-fiber pico-second laser based on a MOPA configuration. The self-constructed fiber laser seed is actively mode locked by an EOM. The average and peak power were as much as 196.5 W and 15.89 k W. The beam quality is near diffraction-limited (M2<;2).
