Abstract

Single-frequency linearly-polarized 1083 nm all fiber nanosecond master-oscillator power amplifier laser system is demonstrated. A ring laser, whose key components are one saturable absorber and two polarization controllers, delivers a single-frequency continuous wave laser. Using an electro-optic modulator as the modulator, the pulse laser seed is obtained by modulating the CW laser. By amplifying the pulse seed to the average power of 61.6 W in three stages, a single-frequency linearly-polarized laser with pulse duration of 16 ns, repetition rate of 10 MHz and pulse energy of 6.16 μJ is obtained. No nonlinear effect is observed in our experiment. Higher output power can be obtained by increasing LDs of the main amplifier.
