Abstract
We demonstrated a CW all-fiber Ytterbium-doped fiber laser with master oscillator power amplifier configuration. The laser system generated 2.04Â kW output power at 1080Â nm with 78.5% total optical-to-optical efficiency. What is more, the output laser was near single mode with the beam quality factor M2Â <Â 1.37 at the maximum power. It benefited from low splicing loss, proper heat management and effective controlling of fiber facet damage and the nonlinear effects through optimizing the whole system. The analysis showed that higher output power could be achieved with more pump power in this laser system.
