Abstract

We present herein a method to fabricate a higher-order fiber grating (HOFG) for use as a fiber-cavity mirror in a fiber laser. The HOFG was fabricated by irradiating the Yb-doped large core of a double-clad fiber by a femtosecond pulsed laser. The HOFG served as a laser cavity mirror with a reflectance of 13.2% and yielded a laser line with a spectral full width at half-maximum of 0.56 nm.
