A novel single linearly polarized, widely tunable Yb 3+ -doped fiber laser with alternative two orthogonal polarization (wavelength) laser beams was proposed and demonstrated experimentally. Using a polarization beam splitting (PBS) as the separating of the two tunable laser beams in a linear Yb 3+ -doped fiber cavity, the laser generates two alternatively tunable wavelength laser. Beam 1 is from 1001.9 nm to 1083.4 nm with single linear polarization and 368 mW (at 1030.1 nm) output power. Beam 2 is from 1000.0 nm to 1082.5 nm with 395 mW (at 1018.4 nm) output power and orthogonally polarized with beam 1. In addition, the laser can also work in widely tunable two wavelengths oscillating simultaneously.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
