Abstract :
We demonstrate the first completely monolithic linearly-polarized (extinction 19 dB) fiber laser producing high power (306 W) diffraction-limited beam (M2∼1.1) with a stabilized, narrow-linewidth (0.57 nm) spectrum at 1086 nm. Laser design does not require any external polarizing components.
