Abstract

A long-period fiber grating (LPFG) was inscribed in a single-mode fiber and was spliced with a ytterbium (Yb)-doped double-clad fiber in order to couple pump radiation of the inner cladding into the core in a cladding-pumped fiber laser. The use of an LPFG permits a partial core-pumping scheme in a cladding pumping fiber laser because a portion of the pump radiation can be coupled to the core by LPFG. The enhancement of the pump absorption of a Yb-doped cladding-pumped fiber laser as the result of pump coupling by LPFG was 35%, and the maximal output power increased by up to 55% when a 20W pump source is used.
