Stable high-power continuous-wave Yb(3+)-doped silica fiber laser utilizing a point-by-point inscribed fiber Bragg grating.
We report on a narrowband 5 W cw fiber laser incorporating a point-by-point fiber Bragg grating inscribed into the core of a Yb(3+)-doped double-clad fiber. The laser featured excellent long-term wavelength and power stability (0.3%), as well as a very narrow (15 pm) linewidth, when passive temperature stabilization of the grating was implemented.
