Abstract

By using modified chemical vapor deposition system combined with chelate precursor doping technique, we report on the fabrication and characterization of Yb-doped aluminophosphosilicate (Al₂O₃-P₂O₅-SiO₂) laser fiber. Based on a master oscillator power amplifier laser setup and pumped directly by 976 nm laser diodes, 3.1 kW laser at ∼1064 nm was achieved with a slope efficiency of 78.4%. Benefiting from codoped Al and P, the laser output power showed no evidence of roll-over. The linear fitting of the output power versus the pump power shows the potentiality for further power scaling. The results indicate that chelate precursor doping technique is a competitive method for rare-earth-ion-doped fiber preform fabrication, and aluminophosphosilicate host material has potentiality to develop multi-kW level laser fibers.
