Abstract
AbstractA pulsed master oscillator fiber power amplifier working in nanosecond range has been developed. An ytterbium-doped double-clad (large mode area) optical fiber was used as an amplifying medium. Actively Q-switched Nd:YVO laser was used as a seed of light pulses. The system worked at the repetition rate from 10 kHz to 40 kHz. At the amplifier output, pulses of 10.9 kW peak-power were achieved. The laser system worked at the slope efficiency of 30%.
