Owe to its excellent performance and abroad of applications, fiber laser becomes the third generation of laser technological representation. In this paper, Yb3+-doped Double Clad Fiber Lasers (Yb3+-DCFLs) have been studied in experimentally and theoretically. The main subjects are as the following: (1) Brief review of the history, development and application of Yb3+-DCFLs. And it point out the practical significance of the research of double-clad fiber lasers. (2) The basic theory of fiber laser is introduced：the energy level and spectrum characteristics of Yb3+ are detailed; Then the Fabry-perot (F-P) cavity and fiber gratings resonator are discussed; Moreover, the rate equations of theory Yb3+-DCFLs are constituted, by using this theory, the expression of output power and slope efficiency are obtained as well as numerical analysis for Yb3+-DCFLs is carried out . (3) The structure of single clad fiber and double clad fiber with their transmit characteristics are introduced. Furthermore, we analysis the effect of difference inner-cladding structures on the absorption efficiency of pump light, and the fibe
