An optimization for all-fiber narrowband Yb-doped superfluorescent source with a central wavelength shorter than 1040 nm is conducted theoretically and then verified experimentally using steady-state rate equations. Theoretical investigation indicates that with the increase in fiber length, signal power presents one peak value, but the ratio of signal power to output power is decreasing monotonously. Moreover, a filter with high extinction ratio and a gain fiber with high absorption coefficient can have gain suppression on a long wavelength. One all-fiber superfluorescent source is built experimentally on the basis of the theoretically optimized parameters. The source achieves an output power of 214.64 W with a central wavelength of 1034.18 nm and signal–noise ratio of 30 dB. The output power of the source can have further power scaling with considerable available pump power. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
