Abstract

Yb-doped aluminophosphosilicate fiber was fabricated by the combination system of chelate precursor doping technique and the modified chemical vapor deposition system. The technical details of the fabrication process were optimized to ensure the same elemental concentration ratio of Al/P. The capability of this fiber for the beam combining application was investigated based on a narrow linewidth fiber laser system. This fiber presented the output power of 1783 W with a slope efficiency of 83.7 % and a 20 dB root-mean-square linewidth of 0.244 nm with no nonlinear effects in the laser spectrum. Near-diffraction-limited beam quality was also observed with a M2 factor less than 1.27. In conclusion, this fiber presented an attractive laser performance for beam combination through the comprehensive optimization of fabrication technique and narrow linewidth laser system.
