Abstract
AbstractWe have developed a Yb-doped fiber amplifier (YDFA) using fusion splicing, and characterized its performance with numerical simulation, achieving a continuous output of above $10~{\mathrm{W}}$

light. The device has been conceptualized to have a configuration as simple as possible; a strategy for using fiber amplifiers in harsh environments where quick repairs and replacements may become necessary at unexpected times.
