摘要
We demonstrated a narrow-linewidth high-power Yb-doped polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber laser with near-diffraction-limited beam. The laser system consisted of a phase-modulated single-frequency seed source and four-stage amplifiers in the master oscillator power amplifier configuration. A quasi-flat-top pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) phase-modulated single-frequency laser with a linewidth of 8 GHz was injected into the amplifiers for suppressing stimulated Brillouin scattering. The quasi-flat-top PRBS signal was readily generated from the conventional PRBS signal. The maximum output power was 2.01 kW with polarization extinction ratio (PER) of similar to 15 dB. The beam quality (M2) was less than 1.3 over the power scaling range.
