3.25  kW all-fiberized and polarization-maintained Yb-doped amplifier with a 20  GHz linewidth and near-diffraction-limited beam quality

In this paper, we demonstrate a high-power, narrow-linewidth, polarization-maintaining fiber amplifier with near-diffraction-limited beam quality. By optimizing the phase modulation signal, a nearly top-hat-shaped spectrum was generated for self-pulsing suppressing. That results in doubling the self-pulsing threshold we got from conventional white noise signal phase modulation with the same optical linewidth. Based on an optimized signal and a high power, polarization-maintaining, counter-pumped fiber amplifier, we obtain a 3.25 kW narrow-linewidth linearly polarized laser output with a linewidth of ∼20GHz, the polarization extinction ratio is about 15 dB, and the M2 is less than 1.22 at the maximum output power. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a narrow-linewidth, linear polarization, all-fiber amplifier with 3.25 kW laser output.
