Abstract

We report the experimental demonstration of an Ytterbium doped fiber laser (YDFL) composed by two stages in cascade. Two sorts of Ytterbium doped fiber (YDF) with different concentration have been used. A proper characterization of the YDFs has been performed in order to find the optimum YDF length. To this end, the output power and the slope-efficiency have been calculated and the signal amplifi ... [++]
