Abstract

The invention discloses a single-frequency single-polarization linear-cavity ytterbium-doped fiber laser. The A end of a laser pumping source (1) is fused with the B end of a single-mode fiber grating component (2); the A end of the single-mode fiber grating component (2) is fused with the B end of a photosensitive stress birefringent ytterbium-doped polarization maintaining fiber component (3); the A end of the photosensitive stress birefringent ytterbium-doped polarization maintaining fiber component (3) is fused with the B end of a single-mode polarization maintaining fiber (4) according to 0-degree angle opposite shafts. The fiber laser adopts the single-mode fiber grating component (2) as a back cavity mirror, adopts a polarization maintaining fiber grating (3a) in the photosensitive stress birefringent ytterbium-doped polarization maintaining fiber component (3) as an output front cavity mirror and adopts ytterbium-doped optical fiber as a gain medium, and a linear-cavity fiber laser with the length less than 5 cm can be formed on two gratings and the ytterbium-doped optical fiber between the two gratings. Ytterbium-doped polarization maintaining optical fiber outside a linear cavity can be used as a fiber amplifier which amplifies laser signals output from the linear cavity, so as to obtain the single-frequency single-polarization laser output with higher power.
