A High Efficiency Yb3+-doped Fiber Ring Cavity Laser with Narrow Line-widthRound-trip Dispersion Calculation for Martinez Pulse Stretcher

A novel Yb3+-doped fiber ring cavity laser pumped by a 977 nm laser diode is presented with its output laser wavelength of 1060 nm. Based on a fiber Bragg grating (FBG), the laser exhibits 0.20 nm line-width, 7.5 mW laser output power, 40 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and 66% slope efficiency.This paper proposed a ray-tracing model for the Martinez stretcher, derived the calculation formulae for the stretcher of a grating-spherical mirror system and discussed the error for the total dispersion resulted from the spatial dispersion. The calculated results show that the error could be ignored for the beam returned to the stretcher for the second pass in the wavelength range of 750 nm and 850 nm.
