Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate an all-fiber high-power fiber amplifier with high beam quality and a slope efficiency of 81.8%, using a fiber-Bragg-grating-stabilized laser diode as a narrow spectral linewidth (0.08 nm) seed source. During amplification, the spectral linewidth of the laser output is broadened from 0.08 to 0.24 nm due to nonlinear phenomena. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first experimental observation of the suppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), with increased output power. In addition, we investigated the SBS suppression by simultaneously measuring the optical backscattered power, backscattered spectrum, and output spectrum at different values of output power. The beam quality, M2, was measured to be 1.28 at the maximum output power of 2.05 kW, and modal instability was not observed.
