A Q-switched erbium doped fibre laser utilising a novel large mode area fibre

A high power Q-switched erbium doped fibre laser has been demonstrated using a novel, large mode area, single transverse mode fibre. Peak Powers in excess of 4kW, and pulse widths of 10ns have been reported at a repetition rate of 500Hz. These results represent the highest peak powers obtained from...
