Experimental study demonstrates effective area scaling up to 6000 μm² in erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, highlighting potential for high-peak-power pulsed laser systems.
We demonstrate scaling of the effective area of higher-order mode, Er-doped fiber amplifiers. Two Er-doped higher-order mode fibers, one with 3800 μm(2) A(eff) in the LP(0,11) mode, and one with 6000 μm(2) effective area in the LP(0,14) mode, are demonstrated. Output beam profiles show clean higher order modes, and S(2) imaging measurements show low extraneous higher order mode content. CW and pulsed amplifier experiments are reported. Nanosecond pulses are amplified to 0.5 mJ pulse energy with 0.5 MW peak power.
