We demonstrate an all-fiber high-power Yb-doped 1018 nm fiber laser with a Gaussian-shaped output beam profile based on a mismatched structure, which consists of a pair of single-mode fiber Bragg gratings and a section of few-mode double-cladding gain fiber. The output power is up to 107.5 W with an optical-to-optical efficiency of 63%, and the 3 dB band is 0.26 nm at this power level. Such a structure of single-mode–few-mode–single-mode fiber oscillator can be used to generate high-power narrow-linewidth lasing with excellent beam quality in other spectral ranges.

We report a high power, narrow linewidth fiber laser based on oscillator one-stage power amplification configuration. A fiber oscillator with a center wavelength of 1080 nm is used as the seed, which is based on a high reflection fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and an output coupling FBG of narrow reflection bandwidth. The amplifier stage adopted counter pumping. By optimizing the seed and amplifier properties, an output laser power of 2276 W was obtained with a slope efficiency of 80.3%, a 3 dB linewidth of 0.54 nm and a signal to Raman ratio of 32 dB, however, the transverse mode instability (TMI) began to occur. For further increasing the laser power, a high-power chirped and tilted FBG (CTFBG) was inserted between the backward combiner and the output passive fiber, experimental results showed that both the threshold of Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and TMI increased. The maximum laser power was improved to 2576 W with a signal to Raman ratio of 42 dB, a slope efficiency of 77.1%, and a 3 dB linewidth of 0.87 nm. No TMI was observed and the beam quality factor M2 maintained about 1.6. This work could provide a useful reference for obtaining narrow-linewidth high-power fiber lasers with high signal to Raman ratio.

An all-fiberized high-average-power narrow linewidth ns pulsed laser with linear polarization is demonstrated. The laser system utilizes a typical master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) configuration. The stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is effectively suppressed due to the short fiber length and large mode area in the main amplifier, combined with the narrow pulse duration smaller than the phonon lifetime of SBS effect. A maximal output power of 466 W is obtained with a narrow linewidth of ${\sim}$203.6 MHz, and the corresponding slope efficiency is ${\sim}$80.3%. The pulse duration is condensed to be ${\sim}$4 ns after the amplification, corresponding to the peak power of 8.8 kW and the pulse energy of $46.6~\unicode[STIX]{x03BC}\text{J}$. Near-diffraction-limited beam quality with an $M^{2}$ factor of 1.32 is obtained at the output power of 442 W and the mode instability (MI) is observed at the maximal output power. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest average output power of the all-fiberized narrow linewidth ns pulsed fiber laser with linear polarization and high beam quality, which is a promising source for the nonlinear frequency conversion, laser lidar, and so on.
