3 kW 20/400 Yb-Doped Aluminophosphosilicate Fiber With High Stability
By using the MCVD system and the all-gas-phase chelate precursor doping technique, we fabricated an Yb-doped aluminophosphosilicate fiber with 20 μm-core and 400 μm-clad in diameter, i.e., 20/400 Yb-APS fiber. The fiber core was doped with 1100 ppm Yb<sup>3+</sup>,...

By using the MCVD system and the all-gas-phase chelate precursor doping technique, we fabricated an Yb-doped aluminophosphosilicate fiber with 20 μm-core and 400 μm-clad in diameter, i.e., 20/400 Yb-APS fiber. The fiber core was doped with 1100 ppm Yb<sup>3+</sup>, 7200 ppm Al<sup>3+</sup>, and 8000 ppm P<sup>5+</sup>. With a molar ratio of Al/P close to 1:1, low refractive index difference and suitable numerical aperture was obtained for large-mode-area fiber design. Directly forward pumped by 976 nm laser diodes, 11-m-long 20/400 Yb-APS fiber presented 3.03 kW laser output at 1080 nm with a slope efficiency of 76.6% and beam quality M<sup>2</sup> of ~1.58.

To directly characterize its power stability and photodarkening effect, the fiber laser was kept at ~2.1 kW for over 500 min with power degradation less than 1.1%. These results indicated that the all-gas-phase chelate precursor doping technique is highly competitive for Yb-APS fiber fabrication toward high-power laser, and the fabricated fiber is very suitable for 2 kW-level or above commercial fiber laser development. |
