초록

본 논문에서는 3단으로 구성된 전광섬유(all-fiber) Master Oscillator Power Amplifier (MOPA) 구조의 협대역 이터븀 첨가 편광 유지 광섬유 레이저 증폭에 대해 보고한다. 편광유지 단일모드 출력은 85%의 기울기 효율을 가지는 400 W 출력을 얻을 수 있었 고, 레이저 반치폭은 2.5 GHz였다. 더불어, 이득매질 광섬유를 11 cm 지름으로 코일링하여 모드 불안정성을 완화할 수 있었다. 추가적으로 레이저 출력 증가를 위한 방법들에 대해 논하였다.

Abstract

In this paper, we report on the high power amplification of a narrow-linewidth Yb-doped polarization-maintained (PM) fiber laser in a 3-stage, all-fiber master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system. The linearly polarized single-mode output power was 400 W with an 85% slope efficiency, with a linewidth of 2.5 GHz (full width at half maximum). Furthermore, mitigation of mode instability (MI) has been demonstrated by tightly coiling the gain fiber to a diameter of 11 cm. In addition, methods for higher power scaling are discussed.
