Abstract
A system includes a seed laser configured to generate a seed beam and multiple arrays of semiconductor diode lasers configured to generate multiple pump beams. The system also includes a Raman amplifier having a core, a first cladding around the core, and at least a second cladding around the first cladding. The core is configured to amplify the seed beam based on optical pump power provided by the pump beams. Each of the core, the first cladding, and the second cladding includes fused silica, and at least the core and the first cladding are doped. The core has a numerical aperture of approximately 0.06 or less and a diameter of approximately 20 μm to approximately 25 μm. The first cladding has a numerical aperture of approximately 0.17 or less and a diameter of approximately 35 μm to approximately 45 μm.
