Abstract

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is one of the mainly factors those limit the output power in narrow-linewidth highpower fiber laser systems. Here, we propose and demonstrate a novel method for the suppression of SBS in optical fibers using a tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG). With a TFBG being inserted between a single-mode fiber (SMF) amplifier and a 150-meter-length single-mode energy-transmitting fiber, not only the backward Stokes wave is rejected, but also an obvious increasing of the SBS threshold is observed with a value of 1.2 times that without the TFBG, which increases the effective laser output power by about 18 %. This work provides a new idea for SBS suppression in fiber. It is very useful for the further power scaling of high-power narrow bandwidth all-fiber lasers.
