Theoretical Analysis of Thermal Distribution and Waveform Evolution in Pulsed Ytterbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier with Extra Feedback

Pulsed ytterbium-doped fiber amplifiers (YDFA) with ns-level signal width are important devices for obtaining high-power pulsed lasers. When some components in the amplifier are ineffective, e.g., the isolator or fiber is damaged, extra feedback light is generated and coupled into the gain fiber. Th...
