5-kW narrow-linewidth single-mode fiber laser based on homemade ultra-low absorption LMA-30/400 Yb-doped fiber
Improving the nonlinear effect thresholds and performance of fiber laser systems becomes essential for developing high-power narrow-linewidth fiber lasers. We have designed and fabricated the novel LMA-30/400 Yb-doped fiber with an ultra-low cladding absorption of 0.22 dB/m@915 nm and a core NA of 0.065. Investigating the influence of bending diameter on cladding absorption indicates that enlarging the bending diameter can effectively reduce cladding absorption. A narrow-linewidth laser with a maximum output power of 5020 W has been achieved based on white-noise phase modulation under non-stabilized 976 nm LD pumping, where the spectral linewidth Δλ3dB of 0.135 nm, the slope efficiency of 81.4 % and the beam quality of M2 of ∼1.21. Importantly, no Transverse Mode Instability (TMI) was observed even at the 5-kW level. This work provides valuable insights for the future development of ultra narrow-linewidth lasers with high power and high beam quality.
