Abstract:
A pulsed master-oscillator fiber power amplifier system with near diffraction-limited output by use of China-made large-mode-area fiber and a (2 1) × 1 multimode combiner is reported. The effect of the seed power on the amplification performance is found. For the seed power, there exists a range within which the pulsed fiber amplifier can operate safely and reliably at a certain pump power. With the seed average power of 70 mW, the amplification performances of the fiber amplifier are investigated.
