Abstract
We demonstrated a narrow-linewidth high-power Yb-doped polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber laser with near-diffraction-limited beam. The laser system consisted of a phase-modulated single-frequency seed source and four-stage amplifiers in the master oscillator power amplifier configuration. A quasi-flat-top pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) phase-modulated single-frequency laser with a linewidth of 8 GHz was injected into the amplifiers for suppressing stimulated Brillouin scattering. The quasi-flat-top PRBS signal was readily generated from the conventional PRBS signal. The maximum output power was 2.01 kW with polarization extinction ratio (PER) of ~15 dB. The beam quality (M2) was less than 1.3 over the power scaling range.
