Ytterbium-doped fiber laser amplifiers are known for their high single-pass gain and average powers up to the kilowatt range in single mode operation. Recently, amplitude noise in these systems has attracted attention due to its suspected capabilities as a potential source of phase disturbance leading to transverse mode instabilities [1]. We use balanced self-homodyne detection to measure the amount of noise in a Ytterbium-doped fiber pre-amplifier typically used in kW experiments, quantifying the impact of different noise sources at various frequencies with respect to the fundamental shot-noise limit.
