摘要
We report on a diode-pumped master-oscillator/fiber-amplifier (MOFA) system consisting of a passively Q-switched, single-frequency Nd:LSB microchip laser that seeds a dual-stage Yb-doped fiber amplifier. A large-core, single-mode photonic crystal fiber was used for the final amplifier. The MOFA generated 1062nm wavelength, 1-ns long, similar to 10kHz repetition-rate, diffraction-limited pulses of energy > 1mJ, peak power > 1MW, average power > 10W, and spectral linewidth similar to 9 GHz.
