An optical apparatus for spectrally shaping a laser beam within a fiber MOPA laser is disclosed. The apparatus includes a birefringent optic and a linear polarizer. The laser beam is divided between two orthogonal polarization axes of the birefringent optic having polarization mode dispersion. Propagation of the laser beam through the birefringent optic causes a wavelength-dependent phase shift between components of the laser beam in the two polarization axes. A polarizing direction of the polarizer is oriented between the two polarization axes. Propagation of the polarization-dispersed laser beam through the polarizer modulates the power spectral density of a transmitted portion of the laser beam. This spectral modulation can be tuned to shape a Gaussian spectral distribution from the master oscillator into a uniform spectral distribution for amplification by the power amplifier. The uniform spectrally-shaped laser beam can be amplified to higher powers than the original Gaussian laser beam.
