摘要
The operation of a gain-switched ytterbium-doped rod-type fiber laser is presented in this paper. The pumping, output pulses, spectrum, and energy stability are analyzed. The two key parameters of the laser pulse achieved from the single-stage gain-switched system are a 43 ns pulse duration and a peak power of 4.4 kW. This is to our knowledge the highest peak power obtained from single stage gain switched Yb-doped fiber laser. Further a very good pulse-topulse stability with standard deviation of less than 1% was achieved.
