We report an all-fiber high power,single frequency large-mode area (LMA) linearly polarized ytterbiumdoped fiber amplifiers (YDFA) module,which is based on the master oscillator multi-stage power amplifiers (MOPA).The maximum output power is 43.8 W at a wavelength of 1064 nm when 60-W launched pump light is coupled,with high slope efficiency of 88%,polarization extinction rate (PER) >17.2 dB and nearly diffraction-limited beam quality (M 2 <1.1).
We experimentally demonstrate the phase locking of a two-dimensional(2D) array of four fiber lasers using an improved self-imaging resonator with a spatial filter.The high visibility interference round stripes of the coherent beam profile are observed.The coherent output power of the fiber array exceeds 134 W.The entire system operates quite stably,and no thermal effects observe in the spatial filter,indicating that the coherent output power can be increased using this method.
