Power scaling in passively mode locked large mode area fibre lasers

We report on a novel approach towards generating high peak powers in passively mode locked fibre lasers. By appropriate design the fibre's mode area is increased by a factor of ~30 compared to standard fibre. This increased area effectively decreases the nonlinearity thus increasing the power n...
