Abstract

A 170 W all-fiber linearly-polarized single-frequency sing-mode ytterbium amplifier at 1064 nm with an optical efficiency of 80% is demonstrated. 3.9 m long ytterbium-doped polarization maintaining fiber with a core diameter of 10 μm is used as the gain fiber, which guarantees a diffraction-limited output with a measured M(2) of 1.02. To suppress the stimulated Brillouin scattering, longitudinally varied strains are applied on the gain fiber according to the signal power evolution and the temperature distribution. 7 times increase of the stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold is achieved.

摘要

展示了一个170瓦、全光纤、线性偏振、单频单模、波长为1064纳米、光效率为80%的镱放大器。使用了一根长度为3.9米、芯径为10微米的掺镱保偏光纤作为增益光纤，其保证了衍射极限输出，测得的M²为1.02。为了抑制受激布里渊散射，根据信号功率变化和温度分布对增益光纤施加纵向变化的应变。实现了受激布里渊散射阈值提高7倍。
