Abstract:The optimization of large-mode-area fiber design for the amplification of narrow-linewidth content or short pulses, susceptible to nonlinear effects, while reaching average powers exceeding the kW level is not a simple endeavor. The rapidly decreasing TMI-threshold with increasing core size leaves very little room in the 20 to 30 μm core diameter space for improved performance with respect to nonlinear effects while still delivering significant average power. We present results on a 29 μm core, polarization-ma… Show more
