Abstract

We report a high energy all fiber format nanosecond pulsed laser source at ∼1064 nm in master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) configuration. The seed source is an acousto-optic Q-switched fiber laser with a varied pulse duration and repetition rate. The output average power of the oscillator is ∼30 mW and two pre-amplifiers were developed to boost the average power to ∼3 W. Pulse energy of >11 mJ for ∼660 ns pulses at 3 kHz was achieved in the final power amplifier using a commercial 50/400 μm (core/cladding diameter) double cladding Yb-doped fiber (DCYF).
