Rhodamine B (RB) doped polymer optical fiber amplifiers and lasers were already broadly investigated since the 1990s. New applications in the field of integrated photonics open new opportunities for the use of such fibers, e.g. lab-on-a-chip applications. As degradation of the dye or the polymer is expected during the manufacturing process, high efficiencies are desired to ensure lasing. To provide high energies, the performance of single-wavelength RB:POF lasers has to be optimized. We will present results on the optimization of a Rhodamine B doped poly(methyl-methacrylat) (PMMA) fiber laser which were achieved by varying the doping concentration and the output coupler reflectivity. High pulse energy of 1.65 mJ, a slope efficiency of 57%, and a half-life of 905000 pulses were achieved by pumping a 10 ppm doped fiber at a wavelength of 550 nm. Furthermore, simulations on the wavelength tunability of a laser based on such polymer fiber will be presented.
