A method and apparatus for suppression of four-wave mixing using polarization control with a high power polarization maintaining fiber amplifier system. The apparatus includes a master oscillator (MO) that generates a beam; a polarization controller that receives the beam from the MO and transmits the beam with a desired polarization; a pre-amplifier that receives the beam from the polarization controller, pre-amplifies the beam, and transmits the beam; a high power fiber amplifier that receives the beam from the pre-amplifier, amplifies the beam, and transmits an output beam; and a polarization detector that detects the polarization of the output beam. The polarization detector transmits feedback to the polarization controller to ensure that the output beam components aligned with the principal birefringent axes of the high power fiber amplifier have approximately equal power.
