We experimentally achieve over 10 W linearly polarized supercontinuum (SC) generation in a polarization-maintaining (PM) erbium-doped fiber (EDF) master oscillator power-amplifier (MOPA). The house-built PM seeding EDF laser can deliver ∼209fs soliton around ∼1563.7nm, which is then stretched to >15ps using a long piece of normal-dispersion fiber. The wideband spectrum of the ultrashort seeding soliton facilitates the further spectral broadening with nonlinear effects. The soliton stretching decelerates the peak power increase, thus facilitating higher amplified average power. After several stages of pre-amplification, the stretched soliton is fed into the main amplifier constructed with PM large mode area fibers. The output average power is finally amplified to ∼11.51W. The corresponding spectrum spans from ∼1450 to ∼2200nm, indicating that SC is formed due to the induced strong nonlinear effects. The polarization extinction ratio at the output reaches over 18 dB. The PM characteristic potentially enhances the system's resistance to environmental disturbances and eliminates instabilities relating to polarization-mode coupling. Our result represents, so far, the highest SC power directly produced in an EDF MOPA, to the best of our knowledge, especially in a linearly polarized manner. This also suggests a scheme for powerful SC generation that employs direct laser diode pumping and duration-managed pulse seeding.
