Efficient superfluorescent emission at 974nm and 1040nm from a Yb-doped fibre

End-pumping of an Yb-doped single-mode fiber has yielded > 10 mW and 30 mW of broadband superfluorescence at 974 nm and 1040 nm respectively. Slope efficiencies > 40% have been obtained. Pump wavelength dependent linewidths between 2 nm and 19 nm have been observed.
