Title: 2 um fiber lasers and amplifiers for cryogenic silicon gravitational wave detectors

Abstract: Single-frequency 2 μm lasers are of interest for a range of remote sensing, LiDAR, medical, and scientific applications such as in cryogenic silicon gravitational wave detectors (GWDs). I will discuss research and development efforts towards a high-power 2-um thulium fiber laser and amplifier system with noise performance suitable for use in 2-um GWDs.
