CW PM Multiwatts Yb-Doped Fiber Laser Directly Emitting at Long Wavelength

摘要

We study the impact of standard active double-clad (DC) fiber characteristics and laser architectures on the generation of long-wavelength Yb-doped high-power fiber lasers around 1154 nm. Both theoretical and experimental works have been performed highlighting that Yb-doped fiber lasers can emit efficiently in multiwatts operation at wavelengths higher than 1150 nm. This study has been focused on the use of standard all-fiber active and passive components as well as on the use of standard DC Yb-doped fibers without any spectral filtering except cavity mirrors.
