Abstract
In this paper, the fabrication method of a pump/signal (6 + 1) × 1 combiner based on a large-core (48 μm) multimode signal fiber is introduced. Since the signal fiber is not tapered in the production, and an effective feedback alignment method is adopted during the splice process, the degradation ratio of the M2 value of the signal light is only about 5% after passing through the beam combiner. In addition, with the help of a home-made beam combiner, a counter-directional tandem-pumping amplifier is built. The maximum output power of the amplifier is 15.31 kW with the slope efficiency of 83.2%. The temperature rise coefficient of the home-made combiner is 3.2 °C/kW and the backward isolation degree is more than 36 dB from each pump pigtail. Both test results prove the outstanding potential of the pump-signal combiner in high-power laser applications.
