Abstract

See full text

A single-mode fiber laser includes a single mode holding, large mode area optical fiber assembly having a large mode area core, a first cladding and a second cladding. The optical fiber assembly has several unique sections including a gain section having a ytterbium-doped core, first and second reflective sections including fiber Bragg gratings that define a lasing cavity, and an absorptive section also having a ytterbium-doped core, the absorptive section having an output end coupled to an input end of said first reflective section. A broad area, multi-mode diode pump source is configured to pump multi-mode light into a tapered input section and cladding-pump the gain section. The gain section absorbs the multi-mode pump light and emits single-mode light. The absorptive section absorbs emissions at the operating wavelength and prevents operating emissions from reflecting back into said pump source.
