Abstract
A master oscillator-power amplifier (MOPA) has been fabricated and optimized for measuring the small-signal gain (γ0) and saturation power (Psat) of a continuous-wave (CW) single-mode (SM) double-clad (DC) Yb-doped (YD) silica fiber amplifier at 1082.5 nm. It was shown that the gain and saturation properties are strongly dependent on the pump power, dopant concentration and fiber length mainly due to the dominant effect of the overlapping factor.
