Abstract

We presented the first demonstration of a special S-band Yb-doped fiber laser with a central wavelength of 1012 nm. By pumping common alumosilicate fiber doped with 974 nm laser diode, efficient lasing at 1012 nm was achieved with a maximal output power of 331 mW and 55% power conversion efficiency. We also built a fiber amplifier to validate the feasibility of the 1012 nm laser as the tandem pump source by boosting the 1064 nm C-band laser power up. The slope efficiency of the tandem-pumped fiber amplifier is 63%.
