A large-mode area polarization maintaining single-mode ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier with distributed narrow passband filtering is demonstrated. The fiber passband is 40 nm wide and centered at 1070 nm for efficient filtering of both short- and long-wavelength amplified spontaneous emission as well as stimulated raman scattering and four-wave-mixing. The fiber shows reduced bend sensitivity, has a mode field diameter of 27 microm and exhibits a slope efficiency of more than 65%.
