Title :
Gain Filtering for Single-Spatial-Mode Operation of Large-Mode-Area Fiber Amplifiers
Author_Institution :
Univ. of Rochester, Rochester
Abstract :
Gain filtering of higher-order modes in large-mode-area fibers is an extremely robust method for providing diffraction-limited performance regardless of core diameter or input-beam quality. These predictions extend to 100- mum cores to the 10-kW level.
