摘要
The authors report a widely tunable and highly efficient cladding-pumped erbium-ytterbium codoped large-core fiber laser, generating up to 43 W of output power at similar to1.5 mum with a narrow linewidth (0.16-nm full-width at half-maximum) and a good beam quality (M-2 < 1.7). By use of a tunable narrow-band fiber Bragg grating, the laser wavelength was tuned from 1532 to 1567 nm, limited upwards by the tuning range of the fiber grating. The overall slope efficiency was 32% with respect to launched pump power.
