Abstract

A novel design of widely tunable Ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber laser is realized in this paper. The tunable wavelength output can be achieved by using a polarizer and polarization controller into the Frabry-Perot Ytterbium doped double-clad fiber laser. Wide wavelength tunability (1054-1080nm) is achieved either by rotating the polarizer or by varying the fiber birefringence with an in-line polarization controller (PC).
