We have demonstrated a monolithic (fully fused), 1.2-kW, Yb-doped fiber laser with near-single-mode beam quality.
This laser employs a new generation of high-brightness, fiber-coupled pump sources based on spatially multiplexed
single emitters, with each pump providing 100 W at 915 nm within 0.15 NA from a standard 105/125 μm fiber. The
fiber laser is end pumped through the high-reflector FBG using a 19:1 fused-fiber pump combiner, eliminating the need
for pump/signal combiners. The output wavelength is 1080 nm, with a linewidth of < 0.5 nm FWHM. A peak power of
1.5 kW was reached in modulated operation (1-ms pulse duration) with M2 < 1.2.
