Abstract :
Efficient high-power operation of a tunable erbium-ytterbium codoped fibre laser end-pumped by two beam-shaped diode-stacks at 940 nm is reported. A maximum output power of 30 W at 1570 nm for 83 W of absorbed pump power with operating wavelength tunable from 1562 to 1627 nm was demonstrated.
