158µJ pulses from a single transverse mode, large mode-area EDFA

We report the amplification of 10pJ-100pJ, semiconductor diode pulses up to an energy of 158µJ and peak powers >100kW in a multi-stage fibre amplifier chain based on a single-mode, large mode-area erbium doped amplifier design. These results represent the highest single-mode pulse energy ever ext...

These results represent the highest single-mode pulse energy ever extracted from any doped fibre system.
