Nanosecond Pulse Amplification in Polarization Maintaining, Large Mode Area Yb Fiber
We demonstrate 0.86 mJ, 2.7 ns pulses at average powers of 430 W from a polarization maintaining Yb-30/400 fiber amplifier. High higher-order mode loss supports diffraction limited output with a mode field diameter of 26 um.
