title: Wavelength-swept Yb-fiber master-oscillator-power-amplifier with 70 nm rapid tuning range.
abstract: A continuous-wave all-polarization maintaining ytterbium-doped fiber master oscillator power amplifier, with a tuning range of 70 nm addressable at tuning rates of up to 20 nm/ms, is described. Up to 10 W of linearly polarized output was generated with an amplified spontaneous emission content of less than 0.2% throughout the tuning range.
