Abstract
A pulsed master oscillator power amplifier system is constructed using a
double-cladding polarized Yb-doped fiber and an all-fiber Q-switched
narrow-linewidth pulsed laser used as seed laser. This system has a high repetition
rate and provides a nanosecond pulsed laser with a narrow linewidth and linear
polarization. Moreover, it generates amplified radiation with up to 14 W of average
power, narrow linewidth (full-width at half-maximum is smaller than 0.12 nm), linear
polarization at 1 080-nm wavelength, repetition rate of 51 kHz, and pulse duration
of approximately 50 ns. Based on this pulsed amplified radiation, 3.5 W of green
laser, with an optical-to-optical efficiency of 27.3%, is obtained via single-pass
frequency doubling using a noncritical phase matching KTP crystal.
