Abstract
High-power narrow-linewidth photonic bandgap fiber amplifier was demonstrated. In order to suppress stimulated Brillouin scattering, the seed linewidth was broadened by applying a random phase noise with an electro-optical modulator. A factor of 15 in terms of Brillouin gain suppression can be theoretically expected. An 87 W linearly-polarized (11 dB PER) and narrow-linewidth (780 MHz FWHM) output was obtained.Keywords
