Abstract
A theoretical analysis of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in linear cavity Yb3+ doped dual-clad fiber lasers is presented by solving the steady-state rate equations with SBS included. Solutions to suppress the detrimental effect in the fiber laser are discussed. It is shown that the first-order Stokes initiated by forward and backward pump light changes exponentially along the fiber, and laser power reduces greatly in the presence of SBS under bidirectional end pump. Furthermore, it is found that the SBS threshold power can be improved effectively by using large mode area fiber and shortening the cavity length.
