Large mode area fibers for high power applications

We review our recent work toward designing large mode area fibers for high power applications. We show that appropriately designed doped multi-mode fibers can be used to provide robust single-mode output when used in fiber laser cavities. Single-mode (SM) fiber mode field diameters of ~35µm are demo...
