Abstract

We present a narrow-bandwidth (167 pm) few-nanosecond fiber laser based on tapered fiber amplification and phase modulation to mitigate stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). We compare the use of chirped diode seeding and standard sinusoidal phase modulation. Below SBS appearance threshold, output temporal profiles can be accurately tailored. Typical results for flat-top profiles include 170 kW peak-power (for 3 ns duration) and 1.25 mJ pulse energy (for 10 ns duration).
