Abstract
The ytterbium-doped fibre laser (YDFL) has become the forerunner for high-power fibre lasers and amplifiers largely owing to the broad emission of Yb3+ ions (λ = 975 to 1200 nm) and their ability to be incorporated in a silica host in relatively high concentrations. Achieving multi-kilowatts of output power from a fibre has been made possible through improved fibre design and fabrication. In this paper we report on a robust polarization-maintaining (PM) YDFL with a unique aluminosilicate pedestal structure.
