| Tartalmi kivonat: | A detailed, fast-converging iterative numerical method has been developed to model continuous-wave bidirectionally pumped Yb-doped fiber lasers with output powers of several hundred watts. The analysis shows nonlinearity-induced broadening of the lasing spectrum, which also modifies power efficiency. Cavity dynamics is described by combining the effects of Kerr nonlinearities with power evolution equations and rate equations. The fast method to find steady-state solutions for cavity setups is based on setting the temporal phase evolution as a stochastic process with proper spectral filtering. Spectral properties of bidirectionally pumped lasers are calculated within few minutes using a commercial desktop computer, and very good agreement with experimental measurements is obtained for up to 922 W total pump and 708 W output power. |
