151W monolithic diffraction-limited Yb-doped photonic bandgap fiber laser at ~978nm
2019
We demonstrate that the strong 4-level Yb emission in a fiber laser can be almost completely suppressed in an Yb all-solid double-clad photonic bandgap fiber, resulting in highly efficient high-power monolithic Yb fiber lasers operating at the 3-level system. We have achieved single-mode continuous wave laser output power of ~151W at ~978nm with an efficiency of 63% with respect to the launched pump power in a practical monolithic fiber laser configuration for the first time. The demonstrated power in this work are setting new records for diffraction-limited double-clad fiber lasers operating at ~978nm.
