Abstract
A-Q switched pulsed ytterbium-doped fiber laser is created and optimized for frequency doubling and tripling. The spectral width of the laser radiation (less than 0.13 nm) is controlled using a Bragg grating. At a pulse repetition rate of 1 kHz, the peak power is greater than 13 kW and the pulse duration is 30 ns.
