Gain-tailored Yb/Ce codoped aluminosilicate fiber for laser stability improvement at high output power
Abstract:
A gain-tailored Ge-free Yb/Ce codoped aluminosilicate fiber is fabricated by MCVD combined with solution doping technique. Through regulating the temperature in the tube and designing the solution doping process, the refractive index profile of this fiber is close to a step-index without any center dip. The laser performance of this fiber is proved through contrast experiments with conventional fiber in a kW-level MOPA setup. The gain-tailored fiber amplifier presents a beam quality of M2 ~1.43 at 1.2 kW. Its MI threshold is 1.25 kW, about 1.74 times as much as that of the conventional fiber amplifier. The laser slope efficiency of the gain-tailored fiber amplifier is 86.75%. Stabilized at an output power of 1.1 kW for 15 hours, the MI threshold does not decrease after this long-term operation, demonstrating a strong resistance to photodarkening effect. These results have confirmed that MCVD-fabricated gain-tailored Yb/Ce codoped aluminosilicate fibers have great potential in power scaling and output stability of high-power fiber lasers and amplifiers.

Capillary Electrophoresis (CE)
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a separation technique that separates molecules in an electric field according to size and charge. CE is performed in a small glass tube called a capillary that is filled with an electrolyte solution. Analytes are separated due to differences in electrophoretic mobility, which varies with charge, solvent viscosity, and size. Traditional electrophoresis in gels is limited in the amount of voltage...
